Gilbert celebrates season with holiday lights
Gilbert's yearly Riparian After Dark will be returning for 10 days in mid-December.
Everyone is invited to take a stroll through the 1.5 miles of walkways and trails adorned with festive lighted displays and thousands of strewn Christmas lights. As all trails will be paved, those using strollers, wheelchairs and walkers will be able to enjoy the lights. The preserve also allows well-behaved leashed pets.
A local Hot Chocolate/Coffee truck will be selling warm drinks at the entrance gate every night and snacks will be available for purchase on weekends.
Online ticket sales are underway and cost $5 per person. Onsite tickets will cost $10 each day and may only be purchased using charge cards. Children under 3 years old will not need tickets. The last time slot will be for 8:30 pm.
Sponsorships are available at the $300 Display, $500 Community, $800 Luminary, and $5000 Presenting sponsor levels. Presenting sponsors will need to get their logos to the organizers before the event park banner printing gets done.
The only parking available at this event will be at the Southeast Regional Library, 775 N. Greenfield Road and all entrances to the preserve will be closed except for the one at the north parking lot at Greenfield and Guadalupe Roads.
Gilbert's Riparian After Dark will take place December 12 through the 22nd from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm at 2757 E Guadalupe Road.
