The Festival of Lights organizes fun events for the community throughout the year in order to raise the funds necessary to put on the Chandler Blvd. light display that has become known throughout the Valley.
  • Winetasting Festival

    This event always occurs the first Saturday in June at The Foothills Golf Club. It's a fun, social evening where 1,000 adults gather to take in 50 wine & beer varieties from Alliance Beverage Company. A competitive Silent Auction of 100+ items accompanies the event.

  • Golf Tourney

    Our Charity Golf Tournament occurs on the first Saturday in June at The Foothills Golf Club and is operated in partnership with the Ahwatukee Kiwanis Club. It's a shotgun scramble that tees off at 7:30am and includes nearly $20K in prizes.
