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 - one of the many holiday events taking place in Chandler.
Located in the historic square of Downtown Chandler, the tree has been a hallmark of the holiday season, and has been a Chandler tradition since 1957. Chandler's beloved Tumbleweed Tree is 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 nearly 1,200 tumbleweeds, a Christmas tree-shaped wire frame that is 35 feet tall and 20 feet wide, 25 gallons of paint and 20 gallons of fire retardant, and dusted with 65 pounds of glitter. The tree is then adorned with more than 1,200 LED Christmas lights that give it a spectacular holiday look, day or night. Lively entertainment, savory and sweet food vendors, and a charming parade are hallmarks of the annual lighting festival and are sure to put you in a festive, holiday mood.
While visiting the Tumbleweed Tree, bring the family and visit Santa for a FREE photo.
