An entire Yorba Linda neighborhood lights up around East Lake Village — synchronized homes, illuminated lakeside paths, and family holiday spirit, free to walk through December. Confirm this season’s display dates on the community Facebook page.
The East Lake Village Christmas Lights are one of Orange County’s most beloved residential holiday displays. Homes throughout the East Lake Village community of Yorba Linda dress up with elaborate, synchronized lighting, decorated yards, themed displays, and inflatable characters. The neighborhood lakeside paths take on a particularly magical feel after dark.
The display typically kicks off around Thanksgiving and runs through the first week of January. While there’s no single ticketed entry, the community shares display dates and tips on their Facebook page — confirm the current season’s window at facebook.com/YorbaLindaChristmasLights.

East Lake Village is a master-planned residential community in Yorba Linda built around a private 15-acre lake, with roughly 2,240 homes connected by greenbelts and tree-lined walking paths. Development began in the late 1970s on land purchased from the Kraemer family’s Upper K Ranch. The lakeside promenades and looping interior streets give the neighborhood a self-contained, village-like character well suited to walkable holiday-lights tours.
