Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Festivities begin at 5:00 pm; the lights shine every evening in December after 5:00 pm.

Tips & Advice

  • Come on December 4 if you want the drone light show, because that's when the whole park is lit for the first time.
  • If you can't make opening night, stop by any evening in December, when the lights at the Sports Complex stay on every night.
  • Dress warmly for an evening outdoors at the Sports Complex, since you'll be outside in the park to see the lights.
  • Tusayan sits one mile from the Grand Canyon's South Entrance, so it's easy to pair an evening at the lights with a day in the park.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Opening night on December 4 brings the lighting of the whole park plus a drone light show.
