With the final countdown on for the Ahwatukee Festival of Lights Kick-Off Party on Nov. 19, the committee planning the event has named the Foothills Community Association a beneficiary and the Armer Foundation for Kids its charity partner.
Moved from its long-time date of the Saturday after Thanksgiving, the Kick-Off Party will run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Nov. 19 at Desert Foothills Park, 1010 E. Marketplace Way.
Called off the last two years because of the pandemic, the party is returning with a revamped Marketplace Street. It will have “a much more delicate focus on local artisans, providing a holiday arts and crafts shopping experience,” said committee member Morgan Vanderwall.
