Sacramento Holiday Lights – Dovewood Court

On the way home from the Victorian Christmas celebration, we drove over to Dovewood Court in Orangevale, which is another of the many spots listed on the Sacramento Bee’s Holiday Light Map, and joined the long line of cars trying to get in to see the display. We found a parking spot a few blocks away and then joined the throng of walkers trying to get in to see the display. Walking got us into the court much faster than driving, definitely! Dovewood Court has been putting on an extravagant light display for many years now and they use the occasion to collect canned food for the Food for Families charity. This is such a big deal for this neighborhood, that when you buy a house on the court, you have to sign an agreement that you agree to participate, now that’s a commitment to the holiday spirit. A new addition is one of those synchronized displays to the music. I took a video of the display that was synchronized to music from the Trans Siberian Orchestra’s Wizard in Winter, but I think the one the designer took is much better (and nobody walked in front of him while filming), so here’s his video of it. Merry Christmas!

wow! You have to agree to this before you can buy a house! I’d prefer an agreement not to do something like this bringing hordes of peeps into my neighborhood every night! Looks like a cool place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there!
