The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to dive into the festive spirit than with a day filled with joy, laughter, and holiday cheer? Join us at the annual community event, Candy Cane Lane and Village, a highlight of the Northern Lights Festival, where the entire community is invited to embark on a holiday adventure like no other. See map below.

Start Your Journey at the IVGID Rec Center

The festivities kick off at the IVGID Rec Center, where Candy Cane Lane, sponsored by IVGID Parks and Recreation, begins. Start by dropping your Letters to Santa in the special direct-to-the-North Pole mailbox. PS – kids are encouraged to bring their pre-written letters!

Follow Candy Cane Lane

The holiday adventure continues with a festive path adorned with decorations, guided by IVGID Parks & Rec Staff and enthusiastic “ELFunteers” who will lead you towards Candy Cane Village. Make stops at Santa’s Workshop and experience holiday delights along the way.

Santa’s Grand Entrance 

At around 2:30 PM, watch in awe as Santa and Mrs. Lollie Claus make a grand entrance along Candy Cane Lane at the Gazebo! Arriving in style aboard the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District’s fire engine, they will lead the “Santa Stroll” to the magical Candy Cane Village on the UNR campus.

Activities and Giveaways Galore

Candy Cane Village will be a festive celebration with activities and giveaways sponsored by local service clubs, agencies, and nonprofits. Enjoy complimentary refreshments provided by UNR.

North Lake Tahoe Toys for Tots will be collecting donations. Did you know: Village Toys offers 20% off all charitable purchases (Thank you, Blake).

Live Performances and Community Singalong

Immerse yourself in the festive spirit with live performances by the Incline Elementary School Choir at Candy Cane Village inside Patterson Hall at 3:00 PM. Join the community singalong and let the joyful tunes fill the air.
