Experience the magic of the holiday season in Lake Havasu City with the largest Parade of Lights ever! This year, we’re excited to unveil a brand-new parade route beginning at the Skate Park, winding through all of Rotary Park, and ending at the beaches in front of Windsor 4. From noon until the event kicks off, enjoy a day of fun with food trucks, live entertainment, and a vendor area designed to keep you entertained.
The festivities start with an exhilarating performance by jet ski freestyle riders and will conclude with a special appearance by the big man himself, Santa Claus! This spectacular event not only brings joy to our community but also gives back, as proceeds support local Christmas toy programs including the Firefighters Holiday Toy Drive, Lake Havasu Food Bank Christmas Assistance Program, and Shop with a Cop.
