HolidayLights returns in 2008

‘HolidayLights’ Creates Night Time Wonder - Nov. 30-Dec. 30

"HolidayLights at CALM" returns for its fifth season in Bakersfield from Nov. 30 through Dec. 30 (except Dec. 24 & 25), exciting families with more than two million lights in dazzling night time displays. New to visitors are pirate ships doing battle in a tranquil pond, a piñata scattering multi-colored treats as it is broken apart by children, a helpless goalie defending against an endless barrage of soccer balls, plus dinosaurs, colorful animals and a tribute to Kern County’s celebrities and landmarks. And there are many more fascinating displays set against the California Living Museum's (CALM) beautiful botanic landscape of native vegetation housing injured or abandoned animals native to California. Proceeds from HolidayLights benefit the non-profit CALM Foundation, providing funding for developing new and exciting animal exhibits at CALM.

5:30-9 p.m.
