Christmas Tree Lane has been a holiday tradition in Fresno for more than 100 years. What started as one tree lighting in honor of a young boy in the city’s Fig Garden neighborhood has turned into Fresno’s most anticipated holiday lights display. Drive through the neighborhood (Van Ness Avenue between Shields and Shaw Avenue) to see homes decorated to the nines with holiday decorations. The lane is free to enter but donations are accepted. It runs from December 3-25. Drive down the lane throughout the month or walk during one of their designated walk-nights on Tuesday, December 3 and Wednesday, December 11.\u00a0Click here to learn more about Christmas Tree Lane’s history.<\/a><\/p>\n
