You do not want to miss this Chandler, Arizona holiday tradition. Schedule a visit to see Arizona's most iconic holiday tree, the famed Tumbleweed Tree. Located in the historic square of Downtown Chandler, the tree has been a hallmark of the holiday season, standing over 50 feet tall, and has been a Chandler tradition since 1957. Chandler's beloved Tumbleweed Tree will be lit the first Saturday evening in December and is a unique southwestern tradition drawing holiday visitors from far and wide.
It all starts with the ‘holiday tree' that begins with 2,000 tumbleweeds, a 35-foot tall wire-framed Christmas tree, 25 gallons of paint, and dusted with 65 pounds of glitter. The tree is later adorned with thousands of holiday lights that give it a spectacular look, day or night. Lively entertainment, savory and sweet food vendors and a charming parade are hallmarks of the lighting festival and are sure to put you in the holiday mood.
While visiting the Tumbleweed Tree, bring the family and visit Santa for a FREE photo.
