Events: Lake Havasu Events:
Lake Havasu City has become a
“Special Events Mecca.”
Near-perfect weather facilitates
many special events in Lake Havasu
City. Annual events such as the
Skat-Trak World Championships (the
culmination of the professional
personal watercraft tour), the
Relics and Rods Run to the Sun (a
pre-1960 specialty street rod car
show), and the Winter-blast Western
Pyrotechnics Convention and
Fireworks Show attract avid
audiences. Currently, Lake Havasu is
hosting one of its largest events,
the Festival of Lights, featuring
more than a million lights
illuminating the London Bridge and
surrounding shops of the English
Village from late November through
early January. The Festival of
Lights creates a dazzling classic
holiday scene for visitors from
throughout the country. For those
seeking a charming small town
Dickens-like holiday atmosphere, the
Festival of Lights is hard to beat.
Many people travel to Lake Havasu to
visit the city’s most popular
man-made attraction - the
world-famous London Bridge.
Purchased for $2,460,000 by city
founder Robert McCulloch, the famous
span of England’s River Thames was
relocated to its Lake Havasu home in
1971, block by sequentially numbered
block. Each October, Lake Havasu
City celebrates the arrival of the
world’s largest antique during
London Bridge Days, an annual
celebration featuring High Tea with
the “Queen,” music concerts under
the bridge and a grand parade. For
those still wondering, yes it really
is the actual London Bridge –
replete with pocks left by a Nazi
strafing run during WWII. |
