Lake Havasu Festival of Lights 2023
From dusk until 10 pm every night between now and January 7th, over half a million lights bring a sparkle to the London Bridge Resort, the English Village, and the London Bridge itself. Park for free at the resort, the convention center, or the English Village. Then take a stroll lakeside to see the twinkling lights up close. While there, grab a bite to eat and knock off a few items on your Christmas list by perusing through the shops.
For a different perspective, take your boat out on the lake after dark. Cruise through Bridgewater Channel and under the London Bridge. The resort’s lights seem even brighter from the water.
