California’s Oldest Christmas Light Display Lives on in Fresno | Bartell's Backroads

Christmas Tree Lane in Fresno transforms a two-mile stretch of Van Ness Boulevard into one of California’s most celebrated holiday attractions each December. The community-run display, supported by about 140 homeowners, traces its roots back more than 100 years to a neighborhood memorial that gradually became a Christmas tradition. Today, massive deodar cedar trees are covered in lights, drawing more than 100,000 visitors annually. Despite its size and popularity, Christmas Tree Lane is not operated by the city or county and remains free to the public, relying on volunteer labor and donations to cover thousands of dollars in monthly power costs. Residents say the joy on children’s faces and the shared community spirit are what keep the historic display alive year after year. 1. #ChristmasTreeLane 2. #FresnoChristmas 3. #CaliforniaChristmas 4. #HolidayLights 5. #VanNessBoulevard 6. #CommunityTradition 7. #ChristmasLights 8. #CentralValley 9. #HolidaySeason Get the news today live and weather with the free ABC10+ TV streaming app: https://www.abc10.com/article/about-u...
