Tohono Chul's Holiday Nights light up the botanical park on select Friday and Saturday evenings in December, with live entertainment and hot cocoa. A Tucson desert-garden take on the season.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Tucson is around 5:21 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:48 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 41°F, so dress for standing around outside.
