    On the Saturday night following Thanksgiving, festivities will begin with the APS Fantasy of Lights Parade, which is produced by the Kiwanis Club of Tempe. In addition, the evening will offer the official community tree lighting ceremony, fireworks, and the arrival of Santa Claus. Beginning at 3rd Street, the parade will snake its way down Mill Avenue and through Centerpoint Plaza, where the festively decorated holiday tree---nearly 60 feet tall---awaits lighting. The parade includes floats, balloons, novelty units, marching bands, and brightly decorated cars carrying community dignitaries. Traditionally, the Mayor of Tempe conducts the tree lighting ceremony, where event sponsors and distinguished guests also appear. A special invited guest, Santa Claus, will take the stage for special acknowledgment. Santa makes his way from the parade to the stage via a red carpet, and welcomes the audience. 'Snow' will magically dust the crowd and fireworks over A Mountain conclude the ceremonies, followed by a special holiday concert by 'The Swing Tips.' Santa then takes a seat to hear gift requests from boys and girls, and for photographs provided free by Centerpoint On Mill.
