The annual Winterhaven Festival of Lights during the Christmas holiday season in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The festival was canceled for 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The event was started in 1949 by Winterhaven's original developer, C.B. Richards, after he visited some similar neighborhood light displays in Beverly Hills, Calif. In fact, the whole neighborhood was designed in hopes of one day being able to host a big holiday festival like the one we see today.

There is no admission. However, a donation to the Community Food Bank is requested. Go to winterhavenfestival.org for more information.
