2022 Holiday Parades: Places to Celebrate with Family and Friends
Fill Up on Holiday Cheer with APS at Parades and Light Displays Across Arizona
PHOENIX – Whether you’re traveling across the state or staying in town this winter season, holiday-themed parades will be rolling through communities all over Arizona. Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) is partnering with local communities across the state to brighten up this special time of year with local holiday events, including the timeless Valley tradition – the APS Electric Light Parade – back for its 35th year in central Phoenix.
“The holidays are about giving back and making moments joyful for others,” said Stacy Derstine, APS Vice President of External Affairs. “For 35 years, we’ve partnered with the City of Phoenix to put on the APS Electric Light Parade. It’s a chance for schools, businesses and organizations to come together with their neighbors. APS employees from across the state are also volunteering in their local parades. We’re grateful to take part in these unique traditions that bring our communities closer.”
APS Electric Light Parade
The APS Electric Light Parade starts at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 3. The family-friendly, free event begins its 2.3 mile route at Central Ave. and Montebello Ave., travels south to Central Ave. and Camelback Rd., heads east along Camelback Rd. to 7th St., and continues south along 7th St. to Indian School Rd.
Stunning light displays, colorful holiday balloons and floats representing local businesses and organizations will showcase the theme ‘Light Up the Night’.
