Sponsored by Maricopa Realtor Dayv Morgan of HomeSmart Premier, the celebration will feature an interactive map on InMaricopa.com and special “sleigh rides” from Ride 347 to tour the city’s most dazzling holiday displays. This year’s grand prize totals $500 in a festive mix of cash, gift cards and local vouchers.

Nearly 10,000 residents cast votes between Dec. 1 and Christmas morning, with Alterra residents Anamarie Sofia and Jeff McDonnell earning a whopping fifth of the popular vote for their “Santa’s Workshop” display. The McDonnells took home $300 in cash and gift cards. 20th Annual Holiday Homes on Parade Presented by InMaricopa.com
