Tohono Chul Holiday Nights

A Million Lights Make Tohono Chul Shine Bright During the Most Magical Time of Year

Holiday Nights is a Tucson twinkle light tradition that’s fun for everyone! Stroll along paths draped with over a million twinkling lights while musicians and artists perform throughout the gardens. Who can resist a sing-along, viewing the stars through a telescope, or local art?

You’re sure to enjoy the many performances located throughout the grounds while you sip hot chocolate and enjoy tasty treats! Not finished with your holiday shopping? This is a great time to shop local as the museum shops are filled with unique gifts, the gallery has many exhibits, and don’t forget the ultimate gift of an annual membership to Tohono Chul.
