The Desert Botanical Garden lines its trails with thousands of hand-lit luminarias, accompanied by live music and the LIGHT BLOOM art installation. One of Phoenix's most atmospheric holiday traditions, held on select nights.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Phoenix is around 5:22 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:49 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 41°F, so dress for standing around outside.
