On December 9, 16, and 23, Candy Cane Lane will be closed to vehicles from 5 to 11 pm. Everyone is encouraged to take a little longer to enjoy the lights while walking, sledding, skiing, biking, or getting down the lane however they wish.

The event is free to hit up; however, food bank donations are strongly encouraged. Green donation bins will be set up along the lane to drop off your food bank items.
