Gilbert Arizona Holiday Nights of Lights

The Town of Gilbert is hosting their second annual “Holiday Nights of Lights” event on Thursday, December 3rd from 6:00pm to 8:30pm! The Gilbert Holiday Night of Lights is a fantastic event that is presented by Mercy Gilbert Medical Center and Produced by the Town of Gilbert. This year the Night of Lights event will feature an 1,800 Square Foot Ice Rink! How cool is that? Just head on down to the Gilbert Municipal Center Lawn and enjoy some time with friends and family as local school groups will feature music and caroling to get you into the Holiday spirit while the Town of Gilbert lights their 28-foot holiday Tree (the actual lighting of the tree will occur at 6:30pm)! In addition to laughing at watching your friends and family have an ice skating fail skate around on the ice (as if they know what they are doing on skates) you can enjoy hot chocolate and other tasty snacks for the kiddos! Lastly the munchkins will have a chance to visit with THE Santa Claus (believe it or not he took time out of his busy schedule because we here at iTourAZ.com pulled some strings!). For additional information you head on over to the Town of Gilbert’s Information page for the Holiday Nights of Lights Event. Photo Courtesy of @CodyR

A little bit about why we chose the Phoenix Zoo as one of our themes weeks:
Well, for starters, they are a fantastic organization that has become a staple of visiting the the Phoenix Metro area as well as Arizona in General. The Phoenix Zoo is home to some 1300 animals and is the largest privately funded zoo in the nation! Additionally the Phoenix Zoo has recently been voted into the list of top 5 zoo’s for children! Though only recently voted on to this list we’ve been enjoying the the Phoenix Zoo since we were children and was a top vacation spot destination for us before we lived in this great state of Arizona!
