Nestled within the world-renowned red rocks of Sedona,
Red Rock Fantasy is a festival of nearly one million lights providing a man-made marvel within the scenic beauty that has drawn visitors for the past one
hundred years. Now in its twentieth year and boasting nearly two dozen displays created by families from the Southwest, the
festival promises never-before-seen marvels of light that leave children in wonderment and move adult minds to enjoy the
holidays as they did when they were young. It is a magic that can bring cartoon favorites to life, challenge children to
scavenger hunts within the displays, or illuminate an undersea adventure - last year's winner. That is the magic that has made
Red Rock Fantasy a favorite among Arizonans and visitors to the state alike.
Lights On for the 20th Annual Red Rock Fantasy will take place this year at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 18, 2010. The event will last through the New Year, ending with “Lights Out” on Saturday, January 1, 2011. The festival is open each evening (weather permitting) from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday. Admission is reduced to $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, $2 for children aged 5-12 and is complimentary for children 4 and under. Blocks of 20 tickets or more are sold at a discounted rate of $4 per person. For more information, call 928-282-1777 or toll free 800-521-3131.
Visitors are not, however, the only ones who are touched by Red Rock Fantasy. The event benefits its hometown, local
charities, and dozens of families each year. Proceeds from the event have been earmarked for charity since its inception,
providing tens of thousands of dollars to organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs of Northern Arizona, Institute of EcoTourism and Verde Valley Santuary. Click Here to see a full list of benefactors.
To ensure that the event gets better and better each year, the Red Rock
Fantasy displays are built by families competing for a vacation ownership at Los Abrigados and other ILX Properties.
The "People's Choice" award is given based
on ballots that event visitors fill out. The competition guarantees that each year, Red Rock Fantasy has dozens of
never-before-seen displays to dazzle our guests.
