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.
