On Saturday, December 10, two events will illuminate the night in downtown Globe and at Tonto National Monument.
Globe’s annual Christmas Light Parade will start Saturday after dusk, at approximately 6 p.m., stretching down historic Broad Street from the TeePee all the way down to Yuma Street. This year’s parade theme is “My Favorite Christmas Story,” with an appearance by Santa himself.
From 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. that evening, Tonto National Monument plans to celebrate the festive season with a Luminary Event. Hike the Lower Cliff Dwelling Trail with glimmering luminaries to light your way. The trail will close to uphill hiking at 8 p.m. Bring water, a flashlight or headlamp, warm clothing and closed-toed shoes. This event is free and open to the public.
