Clayco and Arizona Center

Noche en Blanco is a community celebration of Hance Park, where guests are encouraged to dress in white costume or cocktail attire, enjoy live multicultural entertainment and a community picnic dinner under the stars. 

CELEBRATE WITH US
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 5–10 p.m., community leaders, supporters, and friends of Hance Park will gather beneath the stars in the heart of downtown Phoenix for a sparkling evening celebrating our park, our community, and the collective impact of those who make its continued success possible.

Produced in partnership with the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, Noche en Blanco has become one of Phoenix’s most anticipated events. The evening brings together an elevated picnic experience, entertainment, dancing, and meaningful connections—all supporting Hance Park Conservancy’s mission to advocate for, steward, and activate Margaret T. Hance Park as a vibrant gathering place for our community.

Why 2026 is especially significant:

  • A Sweet 16 Milestone – Hance Park Conservancy is celebrating a "sweet" 16 years of advocacy, stewardship, and community building around Margaret T. Hance Park.

  • An Elevated Event – Noche en Blanco continues to grow as one of Phoenix's premier fundraising events, highlighted this year by new partnerships with Gallo as our official wine partner and Heritage Hospitality as our featured picnic culinary partner.

  • Investing in the Future – Hance Park Conservancy is strengthening its organizational capacity to expand year-round programming and stewardship of Margaret T. Hance Park.

A Sparkling Celebration of Community
