Loews Ventana Canyon Resort’s much-anticipated Annual Tree Lighting Celebration + Holiday Food Drive returns this year on December 7. This year, the event will benefit the University of Arizona’s Campus Pantry, a non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating hunger in the university community. The event will feature pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, live music performances, cocktail specials, U of A cheerleaders, and the debut of the 2023 holiday tree. Attendees can participate in festive cheer while supporting the local community. Anyone who brings 4+ more non-perishable items for the food drive will have a chance to win a stay in the resort’s luxurious Presidential Suite with a $200 food and beverage credit, as well as other jolly prizes. The festivities begin at 5:30pm.
