Kenny Irwin, Jr., pictured, is a talented, yet slightly offbeat artist (what artist isn&#8217;t?) who says\u00a0he&#8217;s spent his lifetime\u00a0devoted to art and sculptures for people all over the world to enjoy in peace, love and harmony. The biggest, privately owned Christmas lights display in the world opened\u00a0on Nov. 27, 2014, Thanksgiving Day. The show was dark in 2013, but that wasn&#8217;t the only time. Kenny&#8217;s had some of the lights stolen from the display, he&#8217;s heard objections from neighbors, and he says the fantastic fantasy costs a small fortune to produce (usually over $100K in lighting, electricity and supplies!) Open daily from Thanksgiving to Jan. 6, 2015, you will find the unique attraction at\u00a01077 E. Granvia Valmonte in Palm Springs. Although the event is free, donations are recommended.
