The Festival of Lights celebrates the holiday season in Tucson and is visited by hundreds of thousands of people from all over southern Arizona. Moreover, the Festival is one the most important events for the Community Food Bank in Tucson. In 2015, over $23,000 and 42,000 pounds of food were donated to the Food Bank through the Festival.
The subsidy from the City of Tucson that has been used to pay for safety and traffic control has been discontinued because of the City's severe budget issues. Rather than cancel the Festival, we are turning to the Community for its support.
