World of Illumination, the drive thru Holiday light show (previously called Illumination Symphony of Light) is moving it's north Phoenix location to the Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale this year.
The owners, Yakir Urman and Simon Kreisberger, claim it is the world's largest drive through holiday animated light show in Arizona. Christmas in Color which was located in Goodyear last season has chosen not to return to Arizona stating "We had a great time in Arizona but we will be focusing our efforts in our other locations.".
The World of Illumination event will be nightly from November 20th to January 5th at 6797 N 93rd Ave. Tickets are available online for $22.99 per vehicle for Monday through Thursday, and $32.99 per vehicle for Friday through Sunday and holidays. Tickets purchased at the gate are $40.

If you are not on the West side of the Valley: There is a second World of Illumination drive thru lights location at the Tempe Diablo Stadium, 2200 W. Alameda Drive. As well as Lights at the Farmwalk thru light show located at Vertuccio Farms, 4011 S Power Rd, in Mesa.
World of Illumination will have nearly 2 million lights fully-synchronized to holiday music and a 36-foot-tall animated snowman in Glendale.
The event will take place five miles from the free event in downtown Glendale, where every year the city hosts Glendale Glitters, a display of holiday lights strung across 16 blocks with a kick-off festival during Thanksgiving weekend.
In contrast to Glendale Glitters and Christmas at Westgate, World of Illumination is a good option for families with smaller children or people with mobility concerns, because you stay in your car. The show takes about 25 minutes to drive through.
World of Illumination can be seen as an extension to Westgate's festive holiday atmosphere and complements the walking events at the district which include a free Horse-drawn carriage ride from November 29th to December 21st.
Westgate's holiday events also include a tree lighting ceremony at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 26 and there are Photos with Santa from November 26th to December 24th. It is free to attend.
Glendale Glitters will kick off with a festival on November 29th & 30th in the downtown area, near 58th Ave and Glendale ave. Visitors can expect holiday entertainment, food, fake snow and Santa Claus. It is free to attend.
The city will switch the lights on at 5:30 p.m. Friday, November 29th. The lights will be up nightly until Jan. 11, so visitors can experience the light show without the festival crowds.
