Sponsoring & Supporting the Festival
For over 70 years, the Winterhaven Festival of Lights has been the heartbeat of Tucson’s holiday season—an annual tradition that brings families, friends, and visitors together in one of the largest neighborhood holiday celebrations in the nation.
Over 200,000 people stroll through Winterhaven’s decorated streets each year during the two-week event, making it Southern Arizona’s largest holiday gathering and a signature cultural experience.
The Festival isn’t just about lights—it’s about community. For generations, neighbors have transformed their yards into whimsical wonderlands, creating a place where joy, nostalgia, and tradition collide.
It’s where grandparents bring their grandchildren, friends reunite, and newcomers discover the magic of Tucson during the holidays. This tradition strengthens our community, drives tourism, and fosters civic pride—while remaining completely free and open to the public.
Sponsorship of the Winterhaven Festival of Lights is more than brand exposure—it’s a chance to align your business with joy, tradition, and the region’s most beloved community gathering.
