Usa today news
Fans of seeing larger-than-life holiday lights enjoyed wandering along the one-mile walk at the 6th annual “Holiday Road” on Monday night at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas.
The event is an immersive, at-your-own-pace walk along a trail that goes through light tunnels, past holiday-theme light installations, a “snow” falling area, and many areas for fun photo opportunities. Holiday theme areas include the North Pole (think Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus and elves), a Gingerbread Lane, and fields of candy canes.
