Mission Inn Festival of Lights Riverside

  11/29 - 1/4/2014

3649 Mission Inn Ave. Riverside, CA 92501

感恩節的後一天，在這個有百年歷史的國家級旅館將會舉辦一場熱鬧的點燈儀式，將近有三百六十萬盞聖誕燈會點亮整個旅館，伴隨著燦爛煙火與歡樂氣息的娛樂活動，絕對把聖誕氣氛炒到最高點！燈飾擺設會一直展示到1月5號， 每年都會吸引超過兩萬五千名前來觀賞， 絕對不要錯過這個一年一次的魔幻時刻!

Now in its 21st year, Festival of Lights is an annual gift to the community from property Owners Duane and Kelly Roberts who saved the historic landmark from destruction in 1992. A beloved Southern California tradition and a not-to-be-missed holiday extravaganza, Festival of Lights commences with a celebratory “flipping of the switch” ceremony – in which the castle-like, historic hotel is instantly illuminated with nearly 4 million holiday lights followed by a full fireworks display – and continues through January 4, 2014.

Sleepy Hollow Torrance

12/7 - 1/1/14

Robert Road off Pacific Coast Highway North of Calle Mayor, Torrance

daily 6:00 - 10:00pm

每當聖誕節日一接近，這個靠海的小社區就會全部動員的把自家裝上最獨特以及最閃耀的聖誕裝飾與燈飾，讓整個社區完全的沈浸在濃厚的節日氣氛裡。這裡還有住戶會販賣熱可可跟爆米花讓前來觀看燈飾的民眾能一家大小暖和的享受這聖誕夜！

One of the more popular light displays on this list, the entire neighborhood comes out with lights, Christmas icons, and tons of holiday cheer. You’ll find this California winter wonderland at Robert Road off Pacific Coast Highway North of Calle Mayor. This neighborhood comes out in full force for the holiday with groups touring the area in golf carts and local kids selling hot chocolate. You are better off parking and walking in because there is always traffic.

St. Albans Rd., San Marino

12/15 - 1/1/14

Huntington Drive & St. Albans Rd., SAN MARINO

San Marino的這個聖誕樹大道就跟Altadena差不多，可是這邊的燈飾比Altadena那邊更奢華更搶眼喔！如果你是打算去 Old Town Pasadena 那邊的話，可以在晚餐後過來這邊走走，一定會很浪漫的～

Saint Albans is lined with tall majestic pines that are all bedecked in colored lights for the season. This old San Marino neighborhood will delight munchkins and grownups alike with its stately old California architecture all dressed up for the holidays. This is a short trip, so bundle up, park the car and take a stroll.

This is the sister street to Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena. Said to be even more spectacular than the Altadena display of lights, this street is backlit with estate homes, whose homeowners have gone all out for the holidays. Meander the streets of San Marino and enjoy the sites, then continue on to Old Pasadena for a respite. There you will find a cup of hot cocoa or a full meal nestled amidst the season's decorations.

Alta Dena Christmas Tree Lane

 12/14 - 1/1/14

Santa Rosa Avenue between Woodbury and Altadena Drive

A tunnel of lights that stretches for three blocks. Take the convertible and a heavy jacket.

將近有80個年頭的古老聖誕傳統習俗，這個社區的居民都會踴躍的報名義工將將近一英里的 Santa Rosa 路兩旁的巨大聖誕衫樹都掛上一萬個五彩繽紛的聖誕燈，讓過節的氣氛傳遍了整個社區！

Approx. 135  Deodar Cedar trees create the  oldest large-scale outdoor Christmas display in the world! Christmas Tree Lane is on the National Register of Historic Places and is also California State  Landmark No. 990. It has been designated as a landmark  in its singularly significant social convergence of two commodities: the outdoor electric light and the automobile.  Christmas Tree Lane is also recognized as the only botanical  landmark on the State Registry.
