SUMMARY:CHRISTMAS TREE LANE
DESCRIPTION:SANTA ROSA Ave- Altadena\n\n\n\n\n\nChristmas Tree Lane in Altadena\, is a grand\, mile-long driveway of cedars becomes blanketed in lights each holiday as it transforms into Christmas Tree Lane. \nTake a majestic cruise down the hill after it lights up December 11th – January 7th (the 2nd Sat of Dec – 1st Fri of Jan).  Just a heads up: While you may feel inclined to drive through with your headlights off\, that’s full-blown illegal. \nSanta Rosa Ave\, between Woodbury Ave and Altadena Dr (Altadena) \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanting the Lane\n \nDeodars were introduced in 1883 to Southern California by Altadena founder John P. Woodbury who first saw a stand of the deodars in Italy. \nProclaiming them the most beautiful trees he had ever seen\, he returned with seeds\, and getting assurance from a friend of his at the Department of Agriculture that the trees would do well in California\, had his brother Frederick nurse them at the Altadena ranch. \n\n  \n\n \nIn two years they were transplanted to Santa Rosa Avenue\, which would become a driveway from Pasadena up the near mile stretch to Woodbury’s planned estate. The mansion was never realized\, but the deodar legacy was left and it flourished for over a century to follow. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristmas Tree Lane’s First Lighting\nIn 1920 Altadena resident and Pasadena businessman Frederick C. Nash came up with an idea of lighting the trees for the holidays. He sought assistance from his organization The Pasadena Kiwanis Club and from the City of Pasadena to initially light a 1/4 mile section of the roadway. Over the next few years the lighting expanded until the entire row of trees\, 150 in all\, were lighted. The boulevard at that time was referred to as the Avenue of the Deodars. Though many pedestrians would walk along the lighted street\, it was really a spectacle to behold from the seats of slowly passing automobiles. \n  \nThe Lane had its share of postcards which were published internationally\, but after the war many of the cards came up with the caption\, “Christmas Tree Lane.” It is supposed that is where the street actually took its present-day name. \n\n\n\n\nChristmas Tree Lane in Altadena (Santa Rosa Avenue\, between Woodbury Avenue and Altadena Drive) is the oldest large-scale Christmas lighting spectacle in the United States. \nEvery Christmas season for more than 80 years\, the majestic deodars on the “Mile of Christmas Trees” are strung with 10\,000 lights. \nAll this hard work culminates on the second Saturday in December\, when the festive lighting ceremony brings out thousands of revelers from all around the area\, as well as local choirs\, marching bands\, solo performers\, and of course – Santa Claus! \n\n\n\n\n\nHours\nEVERY DAY: Sunset- 12am \nDecember 11 – Jan 5\, 2022 \n\n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nchristmastreelane.net\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n
