Lake Havasu Festival of Lights 2013 I can't believe that it's already time for the Lake Havasu Festival of Lights 2013.  It seems like just yesterday we brought our family down to the English Village to see it decked out in thousands of sparkling lights.  This annual kickoff to the Christmas holiday season in Havasu has become an annual tradition for me and my family.  Like the 17 years before it, this year's festival starts the evening after Thanksgiving and continues on until after the new year.

Water plays an important part in the lives of everyone, especially those of us who live in the desert.  Lake Havasu City, in particular, owes much of its livelihood to the water.  Unfortunately, it seems that every summer, we hear of at least one death on the lake due to drinking and (boat) driving, carelessness or some other avoidable reason.  That's why things like the Lake Havasu Tri-State Boating Safety Fair are important to attend. This Saturday, May 18th, the Boating Safety Fair will be featured on the London Bridge Beach Park Stage in the Lake Havasu English Village.  Boating officials from Arizona and the surrounding states will be on hand to provide valuable boating safety information.  Every boat is required to have at least one US Coast Guard approved life jacket that is the ... 05/15/2013

On Thursday, you'll probably be gorging yourself on turkey and all the trimmings.  So, after you've had a nice long nap to sleep off the after-effects, take the family and your friends down to the English Village for the 18th Annual Lake Havasu Festival of Lights.  Beginning Friday, November 23rd and continuing through to New Year's Day, the entire English Village and all along the London Bridge will be lit up by more than 500,000 Christmas lights. Whether you walk through the village or take an evening ride through the Channel, you'll become a kid again as you stare in wonder at the sparkling lights outlining the local Lake Havasu businesses and London Bridge as well as trees, light poles and more.  Santa himself will be visiting our little city on Friday as well.  So, make sure to bri... 11/21/2012
