The Stroll in the Glow Festival brings the magic of the holidays to the streets of Fountain Hills. Every year, the town spends the fall putting up thousands of lights - more than 65,000 to be more exact - on the Avenue of the Fountains. On the first Saturday of December, the lights are turned on for the town's "Stroll in the Glow" event, where the street come alive with the multicolored cheer of the holiday season. Guests can also enjoy live music on the streets, holiday-themed snacks, and even a live nativity scene. Many shops stay open late during the event, and there's even a visit from Santa Claus by fire truck. Now bring your ice skates to take part in the "Chill in the Hills" skating rink.
