DATES & HOURS

Everyone is asking Santa when Candy Cane Lane and Lollipop Lane start! While the dates may vary slightly each year, the display typically begins on December 1st, with the decorations at their best after dark. Since this is a residential area, please respect homeowners by visiting before 10 p.m. (Insider tip: 9 p.m. is usually the cutoff). Remember, residents invest significant time and personal expense to create this display. Be a considerate visitor by staying off private lawns and driveways, and please avoid littering.

If you're driving, please go slowly and be cautious—many families walk the area with young children, and it can be hard to spot little ones in the dark. Well-behaved pets are welcome, but must be kept on a leash, and please clean up after them.
