The 10th annual Masik Tas celebration included a Light Parade Sunday, the first time the parade has been at night. Entrants decked out floats, vehicles, people, instruments and horses in strings of lights and glow-in-the dark items to light up the night along Farrell Road. The finale of the parade, the Ak-Chin Fire Department truck carrying Santa and his reindeer, won the “biggest and brightest” award. Themes were a mix of Masik Tas and Christmas,  to the entertainment of the crowd that gathered along the route.

Ak-Chin Indian Community has more big events planned this week.
