We’re excited for everyone to come to downtown Glendale, walk around and enjoy our spectacular display of 1.7 million lights illuminating 16 blocks. The lights will twinkle nightly from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. through 1/9/2021. Due to the pandemic, there will be no vendors or performers, however, we’re excited to showcase great new lighting designs and features that will add extra magic to each evening. There are also wonderful downtown merchants and restaurants that will be open and ready for business!
When the holidays are over, let the City of Glendale take care of disposing of your tree for you.

The Solid Waste Department has set up several sites so one is bound to be convenient no matter where you live in the city!
