Phoenix Thanksgiving Traditions<\/h2>\n

\"Phoenix<\/a><\/p>\n

When it comes to Thanksgiving traditions, Phoenix isn\u2019t usually the first paradigm that comes to mind. Phoenix has its share of time-honored Thanksgiving Day traditions beyond calling friends and relatives up north from the swimming pool to gloat (although this is a favorite).<\/span><\/p>\n

Families and friends love to head to Glendale for the annual tree-lighting ceremony and lights festival aptly named \u201cGlendale Glitters.\u201d Sixteen city blocks are decorated with 1.5 million LED lights for a spectacular feast for the eyes. This year\u2019s event will take place Nov. 25-26, and includes music, pictures with Santa, a petting zoo, games for the kids and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Downtown Mesa kicks off its annual \u201cMerry Main Street\u201d Nov. 24, an event that runs through Jan. 5, 2018. It\u2019s impossible to not get into the holiday spirit here, with a winter wonderland ice rink at City Plaza, Food Truck Forest at Pioneer Park, holiday happenings at the Mesa Arts Center, and Santa’s marketplace on Macdonald with a four-story holiday tree!<\/span><\/p>\n

For die-hard skiers who can\u2019t live without a slope over the holidays, a two-hour drive north of Phoenix will take you to the Arizona Snowbowl near Flagstaff and Sunrise Park Resort. Both will be open over the Thanksgiving Day weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, gathering friends and family around a traditional Thanksgiving meal is a given here in Phoenix. The only real difference between feasting in Phoenix and feasting up north is that here in the desert, you can wine and dine poolside!<\/span><\/p>\n

You might be surprised at how quickly you adapt to holiday traditions, Phoenix-style. Happy Thanksgiving!<\/span><\/p>\n
