Mr. Richards was inspired to create the Festival after visiting a similar display in Beverly Hills California in the 1930s. Since then the Festival has been held continuously since 1949 except for two years: once during the 1970's energy crisis when the residents of Winterhaven voted to stay dark and in 2020 due to coronavirus.The Festival of Lights celebrates the holiday season in Tucson and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people from all over southern Arizona. Moreover the Festival is one the most important events for the Community Food Bank in Tucson. In 2022 $57336 and 42016 pounds of food were donated to the Food Bank through the Festival.The subsidy from the City of Tucson that has been used to pay for safety and traffic control has been discontinued because of the City’s severe budget issues. Rather than cancel the Festival they are turning to the Community for its support.See the lights on the move throughWinterhaven HayridesArizona Party BikesWinterhaven Trolley ToursWalk-ways
