Greetings!
Many residents have asked if we will still be presenting Glendale Glitters this year. The answer is YES! Of course, because of COVID, there will be some changes from previous years. We will not be holding the opening-night tree lighting event in the amphitheater this year, and we will not be having food and merchandise vendors or carnival style rides in or around Murphy Park.

We WILL still be presenting over 1.7 million lights throughout our downtown from 5-10pm every night from November 25 through January 9th! In addition to the traditional overhead display you have grown to know and love, we are adding several new ground level lighted displays perfect for creating photo memories with family and friends! These new displays will be spread throughout the downtown, including Catlin Court.

Friday nights will feature street musicians, and recorded Christmas music will be lifting your holiday spirit nightly in Murphy Park. Of course the restaurants and shops throughout downtown and Catlin Court will be open for your shopping and dining pleasure. There also will be a special “drive-in” Movies by Moonlight showing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation on December 4th. Check out the ad below for more information!

I sincerely hope you will enjoy Glendale Glitters as much this year as you have in years past.


Remember to Mask Up to Knock COVID Down!

Glendale’s recycling program is one way for residents to help conserve natural resources and extend the life of the landfill by diverting recyclables out of the waste stream. Recycling is the process of collecting materials destined for disposal and reprocessing or remanufacturing them for further use.

I introduced an idea designed to remind drivers of the importance of driving safely on neighborhood streets. 
They are 18" x 24" signs, red on one side and yellow on the other. 
Let me know if you'd like one for your yard.
