2020 has thrown uncounted obstacles in the way of holding community events, but Pinal County’s communities are rallying to bring its residents together in ways traditional and modern.

Some gatherings are being converted to drive-by formats while others are primarily virtual, but they all have the same goal: to knit neighborhoods and towns together, to fuse diverse personalities together, even for one night to experience the warmth, peace and contemplation of one year’s end and the approach of a new one.

As of press time, these cities had set tentative dates for their 2020 holiday events, though as with any year, they are subject to change or cancellation.

CASA GRANDE
Winter Wonderland
Dec. 5, 1-4 p.m.
Casa Grande Community Recreation Center, 1905 N. Peart Road
The free event will feature drive-through photos with Santa, goodie bags with holiday crafts and candy.

Virtual Tree Lighting Ceremony
Dec. 5 at 5:45 pm
Can be viewed at www.casagrandeaz.gov/ELT
The Mayor and City Council will kick off the holiday season with the annual tree lighting ceremony. The festivities will feature pre-recorded performances from local school bands and remarks from Mayor Craig McFarland.

Electric Light Tour
Dec. 5-20
The entire community is invited to participate in this alternative to the annual Electric Light Parade by creating stationary displays for public viewing either for a single evening (Dec. 5) or continuously through the month of December (Dec. 5-Dec. 20). Participants may enter their home, business or organization into the event to secure a spot on the tour map. The event map will be available to the community to take the Electric Light Tour and vote for their favorite entries.

Categories include:

  • The Mayor’s Award — Best of Show, creates a WOW factor.
  • APS Power to Make It Happen — Best Use of Lights/visual appeal.
  • Most Original — Unique, creative, innovative.
  • Most Festive — Captures the holiday spirit, use of lights, music, costumes.
  • Biggest & Brightest — Use of lights, overall design, special effects, and displays outstanding craftsmanship.
  • People’s Choice — Voted on by the community (continuous displays only).
