The Mesa Temple Christmas Lights

About the Event

Come and enjoy a wonderful feeling of peace and Christmas enchantment at the Mesa Temple & Visitors' Center. See the Christmas lights and feel the spirit of Christmas at the International Nativity Display. All activities are open to the public, free of charge, and family friendly.

Christmas Lights
The lights will return in 2024 from 5 to 10 P.M. each evening from Nov. 29 through Dec. 31 on the north lawn of the Mesa Arizona Temple, 101 S. LeSueur, in downtown Mesa. Free parking is available nearby.

Nativity Displays
Celebrate the original Christmas story by visiting the International Nativity Display — with hundreds of nativities from around the world. We invite you to explore the Christmas story as you witness inspiring works of art depicting Christ's birth. The nativity display runs the same dates at the Christmas Lights event and is open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. each evening at the Visitors' Center, 455 E. Main St. (just west of the temple grounds on the corner of LeSueur and Main Street).

In Remembrance Of Me - Murals Of Christ
Come and see the murals that commemorate the life and works of Christ at the Mesa Temple Visitors' Center. On this tour, you will see floor-to-ceiling murals reminding us of the miraculous gifts the Savior offers. The Visitors' Center is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. throughout the holiday season. Guided and self-guided tours are available.

Arizona Giving Machines
What is a Giving Machine? This vending machine is full of service items needed by selected Arizona charities and 100% of the funds collected go directly to the donated items and the receiving charities. Light the World Giving Machines will return to Arizona during the 2024 Christmas season. Those unable to visit a machine in person can still participate by making an online donation at LightTheWorld.org/give.

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
