City of Lights

In trying to keep the coal out of our stockings, we thought we would try for a more good spirited holiday activity most. And what could be more fun than Christmas lights. We love to celebrate the darkest time of year with spangles, sparkles and glittering lights. Sure, you see them around everywhere, but maybe you need even more. So if you're jonsing for a more overwhelming experience than driving down your street, try one of these.

Candy Cane Lane
It began in 1952, with a neighborhood putting it's best foot forward in the spirit of the season and has morphed into a snow edged, kid boggling extranvaganza. Not so Christmas-y though are the consumer minded elves selling cocoa and pics with Santa.

Christmas Tree Lane

Deep in Altadena, is a street lined with imported Italian Deodar Cedars. For the past 50 years, the city has lit them for the holidays.

Griffith Park Light Festival

DWP workers adorn part of Griffith park with this kitschy celebration of both Los Angeles and the festive season. It gets crowded, so watch out!
