Passenger vehicles (no RVs, buses or limousines will be allowed) will embark on a mile-long winding path through CALM’s expansive parking lot, flanked by everyone’s favorite dazzling animated light displays. The entrance to HolidayLights will be on Lake Ming Road near the Lake Ming boat ramps.

“HolidayLights is a long-standing tradition that families look forward to,” said Russell Bigler, chair of the CALM Foundation. “We felt it was important to the community to hold Kern County’s favorite event this year, and yet we also want to make sure we are operating in a safe manner that reflects our current realities. People need something positive to look forward to this holiday season and CALM directly benefits from the revenue generated as a result of HolidayLights.”
