Stroll the twinkling streets, support local boutiques, enjoy limited-time holiday menus, and make memories with family and friends under the glow of thousands of lights. Glendale Glitters runs every night in December from 5–10 PM, complete with dazzling photo ops and a giant Christmas tree.  For more festivities and vendors in white tents set-up in the official event footprint, visit on Friday and Saturday.


December 13 is especially festive with the Hometown Christmas Parade on Glendale Ave, and the amazing Witchcrafted Yule Market at the Glendale Civic Center. With plenty of free parking at the garage on 58th Ave between Palmaire and Glenn, it’s easy to spend the whole day exploring everything Downtown Glendale has to offer.


Make supporting local part of your holiday tradition—and experience the season’s magic in Downtown Glendale.
