🎄 Christmas Tree Lane – Opening December 7th🎄

Each year, our neighborhood comes alive with lights, music, and holiday cheer as Christmas Tree Lane officially opens to the public.

Traditionally, the opening has been on the second Sunday of December, but with the way the calendar falls this year — and with many residents already decorating early. This year’s official start date will be Sunday, December 7th, marking the first Sunday of December.

While some homes may finish decorating at their own pace, we encourage everyone to enjoy the spirit of the season as the lights begin to shine across the historic district.

We can’t wait to welcome families and visitors once again to celebrate one of Oxnard’s most cherished traditions!
