Holiday Lights at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick opens Nov. 23 and ends on New Year’s Eve, 5:45pm-10pm daily with tickets ranging from a general admission of $35 on weekdays to a $355 weekend carriage ride for 12.

“Salt River Fields is very happy to bring in another fun family event that can be participated in safely. The Holiday Lights event will be an exceptional experience for families to enjoy together and to celebrate the holidays,” said Dave Dunne, General Manager, Salt River Fields. “With 2020 being such a difficult year for everyone, we look forward to seeing many smiling, happy faces at this wonderful event. The Salt River Nation and the Talking Stick Entertainment District welcome all to enjoy the magic of the holiday lights, and hope that everyone’s spirits are lifted by the event.”
Holiday Lights at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick is specially designed as a safe, drive-through exceptional experience enjoyed from the comfort of one’s own vehicle. It’s also a premium experience opportunity regardless of pandemic challenges.
Guests will wind through a sparkling pathway of more than a mile long that surrounds the award-winning baseball facility, a landmark within The Talking Stick Entertainment District. At every turn, the magical route is anticipated to overflow with spectacular light displays, synchronized to Christmas melodies that bring popular holiday themes and characters to life. Favorite holiday songs will be simulcast directly into vehicles on a designated FM radio signal.
The event is produced by R Entertainment in conjunction with Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, and designed by Steve Driscoll.
Dunne added: “We’re happy to host Holiday Lights at our award-winning stadium in the heart of the Talking Stick Entertainment District and believe this will become a Valley tradition.”
Driscoll, who has been working on layout and production for two years said: “Most drive-through holiday light experiences around the country have one million lights. We’re creating something very special with 5 million lights and will be the most socially distanced, safe holiday party you will attend during this most unusual season.”
Driscoll explains that a series of six tunnels of holiday lights approximately 16 feet by 200 feet will have themes such as stars, ornaments, snowflakes, Christmas presents & candy canes, icicles and ‘endless’ neon squares or optical illusions. Intermingled with the holiday light tunnels will be individual vignettes such as Christmas trees, a butterfly land, lollipops, snowmen, star towers and, of course, Santa Claus.
HANUKKAH LIGHTS. In addition, during the 7pm hour, on Thurs., Dec. 10, the first day of Hanukkah, Holiday Lights at Salt River Fields will greet visitors in a blue and white motif to honor the Jewish holiday.
