A portion of the proceeds from every season goes to local community programs and to supporting veterans. You walk the lights; the season gives something back.
No matching-gift maths, no round-up-at-checkout prompt. The giving comes out of what the season earns.
Arizona Christmas Lights is rooted in community and generosity. A portion of the proceeds from each season is donated to support local community programs and veterans. We believe in giving back, and this light show is one way we can celebrate and help those around us.
You do not have to add anything at checkout or opt into a donation. Buying a ticket and walking the loop is the whole mechanism.
Two commitments, both local to the East Valley.
Arizona Christmas Lights is hosted at Valor Christian Center — a name rooted in service. Part of each season's giving goes to veterans in our own community — the people who served and came home to the neighborhoods this display sits in.
The rest goes to programs working in Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler and the wider East Valley — the kind of work that runs all year, not only in December.
Beyond donations, the display is built to foster connection — families experiencing something beautiful together, sharing a moment of awe, and carrying the memory forward.
That is also why children are priced lower than adults, with no separate parking or gate fee. A night out under the lights should not be something a family has to do the maths on first.
Coming to the show is the main one. Here are the others.
The simplest one. Every ticket sold in December feeds the season's giving.
Out-of-town family, a neighbour, another family from school. More tickets, fuller nights.
Local business, vendor or veterans' organization — get in touch about this season.
We would rather give to organizations doing work we can point families at. Tell us who you are, who you serve, and what a season's support would change.
Every person needs a ticket, priced by age, parking is always free, and a portion of every ticket goes back to the community.
Arizona Christmas Lights is a walk-through Christmas light show in Gilbert, Arizona. A portion of the proceeds from each season supports local veterans and community programs across the East Valley.
