The Downtown Tucson Partnership welcomes you to the 17th Annual Downtown Parade of Lights. The 2011 Parade will take place on Saturday, December 17th, 6:30pm. The parade is one of Tucson’s most beloved holiday events. Each year thousands of spectators line the streets of downtown Tucson to watch entries wind their way through Downtown streets.

Bring a chair and find a great spot anywhere along the route for the best views or get there early and get a bleacher seat at Armory Park. The parade begins at 17th street and Stone Avenue, winds around Downtown and ends at Armory Park-13th Street and 6th Avenue.
