Holiday Lights Tour – Greater Phoenix Tradition
Monday, November 28th, 2011
The Christmas spirit is in the air now that Thanksgiving has officially passed. The month of December is filled with various holiday festivities and among them is the Valley’s tradition of displaying the most extravagant of holiday lights. As single family homes transform themselves into a Christmas wonderland, in the Greater Phoenix area you can expect anything from candy-cane houses, animation carved characters, a Ferris wheel, petting zoos, and various unique forms of live entertainment. One family house in Chandler is famous for serving popcorn, cocoa and cookies as they show holiday movies.
Arizona Celebration of Lights is a drive thru holiday lights display in Phoenix starts on November 19th and last through January 1st 2012. The organizers of this particular tour say that it is the state of Arizona’s largest display of holiday lights with more than 7,000,000 lights and 300 animated and still displays. On average about 140,000 people and 15, 000 cars pass through the display during this joyous season. This holiday tour lasts about a mile as you pass through five tunnels. They are open Sunday through Thursday and you can enjoy the holiday lights from 5:30pm to 9:00pm and on Friday, Saturdays and holidays their opened an extra hour, closing at 10pm. Glendale Glitters is another holiday tour in the area between November 25th and January 14th. A Holiday celebration in the historic downtown of Glendale is with 1.5 million multi-colored holiday lights throughout a twelve block area, from 6 to 10pm every evening. The majority of the holiday lights in the valley is spirited by single family homes, who open their yards to strangers in the spirit of Christmas, making it the best time of the year.
Accent Transportation can be apart of your Christmas as we will gladly tour you and your family around the extravagant holiday lights, giving you the peace to watch the lights from the back seat, relaxed and enjoying the company of your family and friends.
Phoenix: The Winter Visitor Mecca

Dear Winter-Visitors,
We welcome you with open arms and we look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,

Limo Service in Phoenix and the Winter Visitor MeccaThe influx of winter time guests are now arriving in Phoenix and the Valley’s winter-visitor industry has been anxiously waiting. The year round residents of Phoenix refer to these visitors, as “snowbirds”. They are welcomed with open arms as they get reacquainted to their second home and bring life back to the Phoenix metropolitan area. According to AZ Central last year the winter-visitor industry experienced the best numbers in years as the snowbirds arrived earlier and stayed longer. The reason for the rise in snowbirds last year is predicted to be due to the inflow of Canadians taking advantage of the currency exchange rate. The Center for Business Research at Arizona State University assessed that more than 300,000 visitors flock to the state during the winter and spend $350 million on lodging and $280 million on consumer goods. Phoenix limousine service is also among one of the winter visitor industries that is affected positively during this time of the season. As the summer time comes to an end and the flocks of snowbirds make their way to Arizona, limo services in Phoenix are preparing to serve the winter-visitors. Accent Limo experiences its busiest time of the year during the winter. Returning clients and new ones make the winter season for limo services in Phoenix eventful. The Phoenix metropolitan area not only offers perfect weather but also the best of hiking and golfing locations. Phoenix was recently named one of America’s top 10 hiking cities by the National Geographic Magazine, featuring South Mountain –as the largest municipal park in the world, spanning nearly 17,000 acres and 58 miles of trails. And with over 200 golf courses, Phoenix is one of the premier golf destinations in the United States. Two golf courses at Troon North Golf Club, the Monument and the Pinnacle are both ranked in “Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Courses you can Play in the U.S”. Phoenix has earned its name as the Winter Visitor Mecca, offering continuous sunny days and the best temperatures during the winter season.
