GLOW, the premier illuminated art show in Arizona, opened Saturday night at the historic Triangle L Ranch. Even though there was concern over the weather, a good crowd showed up to enjoy the art, food, entertainment and fun atmosphere that GLOW is famous for.

This year’s entertainment and exhibits include Drumension performance on Lantern Lane; Telescope Viewing by Oracle Dark Skies Committee in the Celestial Theater; Live Music by the Wicked Path in the Shrine Garden; Circus Amperean on the Performance Stage; UVAV Light Show on the Realm of Rock; and Michael P. and the Gully Washers performing live for your listening and dancing pleasure at the Barnyard Stage. There will also be added surprises in store.
