Share in the magic and excitement of the season at the 9th Annual Main Street/APS Electric Light Parade. Bundle up and bring the whole family to historic Main Street where a procession of lighted vehicles, marchers and, of course, Santa Claus will make their way to Green Valley Park where the community Christmas tree will be lit. The parade begins at 6 p.m., and will take place regardless of the weather.

Most people associate the Superstitions with the mysterious, semi-mythological Jacob Waltz — the “Lost Dutchman,” who supposedly discovered gold in the area.
