New in 2025 - There are NO Walk Only Nights. Visitors may drive their cars or walk through the displays any night, however. According to event planners the safety of visitors is paramount and the overwhelming response of previous walk-only events were not manageable due to safety concerns. This info is for the 2025 Fresno Christmas Tree Lane year. Updates posted on facebook.

Christmas Tree Lane is a tradition lasting over 100 years! Each December, North Van Ness Boulevard in Old Fig Garden becomes a one-way street lined with hundreds of trees and homes all decked-out with lights and decorations for the holidays. Visitors can drive the 2-mile stretch from Shields to Shaw all the way until Christmas Day.

DIRECTIONS 2025

• The Lane entrance is at Shields Ave. and ends at the intersection of North Palm Ave. and West Shaw Ave.
• North Van Ness Blvd flows northbound only during Lane hours. 
• Visitors using Highway 41 are encouraged to get off on the Ashlan exit, drive West on Ashlan, South on Blackstone Ave. and West on Shields Ave.
