This year's theme is Misfit Toys, and our 2025 Christmas Light Parade route might look a little different this year because of the historic flood that hit downtown Globe, so stay tuned. Parade route usually starts near the teepee and Globe Public Library, heading west towards the railroad trestle running along historic Broad Street from Cottonwood to Yuma streets in historic downtown Globe, AZ. 

Colorful lighted floats filled with music & Christmas cheer galore!

Live music on the old courthouse (now Cobre Valley Center for the Arts) bandstand starting at 5pm, along with cocoa, popcorn & food trucks on Oak Street & more throughout the route. It is always a great day & night to be in Globe Historic Downtown.

Looking to spend the day? There are two tandem events this year in downtown. The amazing Annual "Read on Express" event for the kiddos and families at the Globe Train Depot, brought to you by AZYP (Arizona Youth Partnership. Santa, Mrs. Claus & the Grinch photo ops, free books, make and take crafts, cocoa & cookies, and a tiny train ride for the kiddos. 12-4pm

The second is a 2025 Upton’s craft marketplace just across the street from the Train Depot from 10-4.

Brought to you by the Globe Downtown Association, the City of Globe and many community partners.
