Christmas Lane opened to the public in its 33rd year Friday, Nov. 25.
Lane Wetherington and a team of friends, family and volunteers began prepping the Charlie Grimes Family Agricultural Center at the Florida Strawberry Festival fairgrounds in early November before the grand opening. 2016 is the second year the event was held at the fairgrounds.
By Nov. 25, attendees were able to take photos in front of lights and Christmas displays, enjoy live music and food and greet Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The annual event will run through Christmas Day, Sunday, Dec. 25. A live nativity program will be held at 6 p.m. every Tuesday at the fairgrounds.
