Merry Christmas, everyone. We only have a week left of 2025. Are you entertaining guests from out of town this holiday season? Then you need to take them to the Lake Havasu Festival of Lights 2025.

What: Lake Havasu Festival of Lights 2025

Where: English Village

When: 5 pm to 11 pm nightly through the end of December

Admission: FREE

The Festival of Lights is comprised of hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights all over the English Village and under the London Bridge. This event is provided for free to the public every single night through the end of December. The lights start as the sun goes down (around 5 pm) and stay on until 11 pm. Parking is also free of charge throughout the entire festival. Another great way to see the lights is from the water. Just be careful and pay attention to other watercraft in the water at the time.

Every Sunday from now through May, the London Bridge Swap Meet takes place from 8 am to 2 pm at the London Bridge Shopping Plaza. It's a great place to find fresh fruits and vegetables, clothing, jewelry, tools, and so much more.

The first Friday of the new year actually takes place on the last day of the year, December 31st. First Friday takes over New Year's Eve. Downtown Lake Havasu (McCulloch Blvd) provides the backdrop for one of the best New Year's Eve block parties in town. Vendors showcasing their artwork, live musicians, and great food will also be on site for the evening. Festivities for First Friday on the 31st begin at 6 pm and end at 9 pm. So come on down to downtown Lake Havasu for early New Year's Eve fun.
