As the Desert Botanical Garden celebrates

its 34th year of Las Noches de las Luminarias, we invite you to join us

for one of the Valley’s longest and most

unique holiday events. Each night of

Luminaria, the Garden comes to life

with the soft glow from more than 8,000

hand-lit luminaria bags. As you walk

the paths with a warm cup of cider, the

sounds of handbells ringing and Dickens

Carolers singing remind you of what the

season is all about. Make plans with

family and friends to attend this year’s

Las Noches de las Luminarias.

New this year – explore the Garden’s

newest exhibition. David Rogers’ Big Bugs sculptures will be on display

throughout the Garden nightly. These 11

enormous, whimsical bugs are sure to

create quite a buzz

this holiday season.
