DESERT B OTANICAL GARDEN
presented by
Join us this holiday season as we bring one of Arizona’s best holiday events, Las Noches de las Luminarias, and our newest outdoor exhibition, Bruce Munro: Sonoran Light at Desert Botanical Garden, together for 24 magical evenings. Each night of Luminaria, the Garden will come to life with the soft glow from more than 8,000 hand lit luminaria bags, thousands of white twinkle lights and Munro’s vibrant works of art. As you walk the paths with a warm cup of cider, the sounds of handbells ringing and Mariachis singing will remind you of what the season is all about. Make plans with family and friends to attend this very special Las Noches de las Luminarias.
