Flashlight Nights are nighttime self-guided adventures through Desert Botanical Garden. Nocturnal explorers can bring their own flashlights to shine along the trails to capture the night-blooming plants and animals that appear in the desert after dark. Each evening of Flashlight Nights includes socially-distanced activities for all ages.

 

New This Year

Don’t leave Flashlight Nights empty handed! For the first time ever, enjoy a nighttime farmer’s market stocked full of fresh, locally grown produce, local honey, handmade soaps and more! Restock your pantry with fruits and vegetables grown by vendors and farmers from Spaces of Opportunity, a 10-acre incubator farm in South Phoenix.
