Christmas Tree Lane in Fresno has been a cherished holiday tradition since 1920, showcasing community spirit through elaborate decorations and festive activities.
Dean Alexander recounts the inception of Christmas Tree Lane, commemorating the tragic death of Billy Winning in 1919 as the catalyst for this beloved holiday display.
Beginning with a single decorated tree, Christmas Tree Lane evolved as neighbors joined in, creating a vibrant festive atmosphere that has persisted for over a century.
Despite brief interruptions due to the war in 1941 and the energy crisis in 1973, Christmas Tree Lane has successfully continued the tradition for 102 years.
