A MIRACLE ON EL PASEO

Celebrating the launch of the Holiday Season, A MIRACLE ON EL PASEO is the street's biggest and only block party.  Referred to as "the Rockefeller Lighting Ceremony of the Desert, " the annual gala closes one block of El Paseo to street traffic creating a Winter Wonderland complete with the season’s first snowfall, live music and an ice rink with skating by Olympic caliber skaters. This year’s theme is FIRE & ICE, with tastes and libations from the Valley's top restaurants and special activities at the many luxury boutiques found at The Shops on El Paseo including Gucci, Ralph Lauren, Escada, St. John, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Cos Bar, James Perse, Leggiadro, Stuart Weitzman, Optical Shop of Aspen, Chico's, Soma Intimates, Leggiadro, Theodore and Rangoni Firenze Shoes.  The grand finale includes the arrival of Santa Claus and the magical illumination of the street's 60-foot Christmas tree.  The evening benefits BIGHORN BAM in their efforts to support breast cancer services at Eisenhower Medical Center.  Tickets are $100 each.  For more information and tickets log onto www.bighornbam.com or call 760.776.7126 ext. 1115.
