CANDY CANE LANE AND LOLLIPOP LANE DATES AND HOURS
When does Candy Cane Lane and Lollipop Lane start? It can vary a bit from year to year, but visitors are encouraged to enjoy the sights from December 1st on, and the decorations are at their best after dark. Because this is a residential area, though, please be respectful to homeowners by not visiting after 10 pm, and keep in mind that the residents go to great lengths and personal expense to put on this amazing show. Be a good visitor by staying off private lawns and driveways and not littering.
If you choose to drive, please be cautious and go slowly. Many families walk the area with little ones and it can be difficult to see pint-sized pedestrians in the dark. Well-mannered pets are welcome to partake in the fun, but please keep them on a leash and pick up after them.
