The Parade of Lights Festival kicks off downtown with a health fair at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16.

It will be followed by live music and a bell-ringing ceremony.

There’s a new route this year for the parade, which begins at 6:30 p.m.

The forecast also calls for snow – with 15 tons of snow that you and your kids can play in, along with a hill for sledding and free discs to slide on. Go to www.downtowntucsonholidays.org for more information.
