Things to Do
Combine your love of the desert with holiday fun at the Desert Botanical Garden’s Los Noches de Las Luminarias. For several nights during the holiday season, the garden’s trails are illuminated by over 8,000 hand-lit luminaries and live music.
And for the kids, the Phoenix Zoo’s holiday tradition is Zoo Lights, where millions of lights line the zoo’s paths. Visit the zoo at night, lit with millions of sparkly festive holiday lights, and you’ll make memories to last a lifetime.
Scottsdazzle is a month long holiday celebration in Old Town during December. Fifth Avenue is transformed into a winter wonderland complete with Sugar Plum Fairies and Nutcracker performances. There are plenty of events for both kids and adults, and most are free. Many of our winter rentals in Arizona are close to these events and activities!
More Things to Do

Now is the time to try those longer, more demanding trails!
