Candy Cane Lane Opening Night
Sat Dec 9, 2023
7:00pm to 11:00pm PT
Age: All ages
Price: Free
The eastern block of Acacia Avenue is announced by a Candy Cane Lane sign, marking a tradition of more than 60 years. Houses are alight with trains, reindeer, giant characters, and music, plus frequent appearances by Santa Claus in a covered sleigh at the end of the cul-de-sac.
The lights go on at 7pm, when Santa will ride down the street in his sleigh, illuminating houses as he goes.
Opening night is a big celebration each year, after which the cul-de-sac is lit up for pedestrians every night through December 23rd.
Candy Cane Lane itself is closed to cars, but parking is available throughout the neighborhood.
Check out more over-the-top holiday light displays around LA!
