Visalia is shining brightly this winter season with holiday lights and decorations throughout the city. Here's where you can see festive lights and fun displays.
Every holiday season, Main Street in downtown Visalia, is renamed "Candy Cane Lane." Festive garlands stretch across the street from lamp post to lamp post and twinkle lights fill the trees that line the sidewalks. This is the route of the annual Christmas Parade which falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Whether you stroll along pedestrian-friendly Main Street sipping hot cocoa or drive the route in your car, you will enjoy the decorated shop windows, festive trees and holiday music playing.
Experience our inaugural "Deck The Home: Visalia's Holiday Decorating Contest!" If you are looking for the best route to visit all of the ho-ho-homes recognized this year, download the map.
