Lake Havasu City to Kick Off The Holiday Season With the 27th Annual Festival of Lights
Christmas decorations have been up in the stores since September. But we still have Thanksgiving to get through before the Christmas season officially begins. And in Havasu, we kick it off with the Festival of Lights.
Desert Bash & Off Road Poker Run Presented by Anderson Powersports
Our lake offers hours upon hours of fun. But even in the desert, the water gets a bit cold during the winter. Thankfully, Havasu is surrounded by over one million acres of BLM land (Bureau of Land Management). That means that playtime continues on land when the water gets a bit on the chilly side. If you are looking for something fun to do, sign up for the Lake Havasu Desert Bash.

11th Annual Havasu Sand, Water & RV Expo Back at Lake Havasu State Park
The rest of the country may be held prisoner to freezing cold rain, bitterly chilling temperatures, and even hurricane watches. But not here in Havasu. Yes, our temperatures have fallen a bit. However, we still enjoy boats on the water, playing in the dirt, and camping in the middle of the desert. If you want to "up" your toy game, then you need to make the 11th Annual Havasu Sand, Water & RV Expo your destination of choice.
The 17th Annual Fright Night in Lake Havasu City is Back on Mainstreet for 2022
So many cities around the country are experiencing quite a cold snap right now. But who wants to put on a jacket to go trick-or-treating? Well, in Lake Havasu, you don't have to cover up your costume when you participate in the Main Street Halloween Fright Night.
Daytime highs reach into the low '80s this time of year. So, you will be feeling nice and warm when you visit Main Street on Halloween night. Beginning at 4 pm, bring the kids to any of the Downtown Havasu businesses located along McCulloch Blvd. Organizers set up fun activities for your little ones to enjoy in between trick-or-treating. Plus, vendors sell food and drinks to help you keep your strength up when hauling all that candy around!
If you feel like you're not quite ready to go home after Fright Night, head over to the London Bridge. More specifically, head to the stage located under the bridge. Starting at 6:30 pm, the LHC Ghostbusters host their Thriller Dance Contest. Participants get to learn THE dance routine that Michael Jackson showed off in his classic "Thriller" video. First, the Ghostbusters start off slow so you can practice each move. Then, they play it at normal speed for you to dance along. Don't worry. Even if you have two left feet, the Ghostbusters make it easy to follow along by calling out each of the dance steps over top of the music. You got this!
All ages are welcome to join the Thriller Dance Contest for free. Costumes are not required but are greatly encouraged. And they will even be passing out candy to the little ones.
So, trick-or-treat on Main Street first. Then finish the night with some thrilling dance moves under the London Bridge. Sounds like a great way to spend Halloween with your friends and family to me!

Classic Outboard Championships Return to Lake Havasu for 2022
While the rest of the country deals with decreasing temperatures and inclement weather, Havasu folks enjoy sunny skies and temperatures in the upper-80s/low 90s. Higher temps for longer periods of time mean that our lake water feels like a lukewarm bath. That allows water activities like the Lake Havasu Classic Outboard Championships to take place so late in the year.
