Twenty years ago, Glendale debuted its hometown holiday light display in historic Murphy Park, expanding on a traditional tree-lighting event that took place in the early days of Glendale’s history. Today, the event has grown to become a beloved holiday tradition that draws more than 200,000 people annually over a several week period. The first event was attended by about 10,000 people. Today, the event is attended by 75,000 people during opening weekend. The first year, there were 25,000 lights in the park. Today, there are 1.5 million lights spanning sixteen blocks. For the special celebration on opening night on Friday, Nov. 29 at 5:30 p.m., the ‘Countdown to Glendale Glitters’ stage show will feature a video tribute to 20 years of the holiday event in which past special guests were invited to participate, including Hall of Fame broadcaster and Voice of the Phoenix Suns Al McCoy, who participated in the inaugural year’s festivities in 1994, and Governor Jan Brewer, who appeared for the event during Arizona’s Centennial year. Both McCoy and Brewer are residents of Glendale. In addition, the show will feature a performance by The Dancing Dads, a group that performed in 1994, among other entertainers. The program culminates with special celebrity guest, Shane Doan of the Phoenix Coyotes. He will join Glendale Mayor and councilmembers to turn on the switch to 1.5 million lights. Team captain \ for the past nine seasons, Doan also has the longest tenure of any current player on the team and has played 17 seasons in the NHL. Highlights of his career include being named an NHL All Star in 2004 and 2009, and playing for Team Canada in the 2006 Olympics. In addition, Doan is a respected community member off the ice, winning the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2012. This award, selected by the former hockey legend, is awarded to an NHL player who has demonstrated superior leadership within their sport, and who leads by positive example through on-ice performance, motivation of team members and a dedication to community activities and charitable causes.
