The Crescenta Valley traditionally embraces the holiday season in a big way. From its annual Christmas parade to lavish decorations, the love of the season is not hard to find. However, due to COVID-19, the parade was canceled in 2020 and 2021 and some holiday parties were canceled as well. Would holiday displays also be canceled?

Fear not! Not only did residents decorate their homes, but several local businesses also took part in decorating. And to spotlight their hard work and creative prowess, Crescenta Valley Weekly and the Glendale Area Schools Credit Union sponsored the Merry & Bright Holiday Display Tour. For the second consecutive year, CV Weekly printed the addresses of those homes that wanted to be included on the self-driving tour. One homeowner even greeted some of the drivers with cookies when they stopped by. And because of the generous sponsors who supported this event, prizes were awarded in a variety of categories.

Congratulations to the 2021 winners and we look forward to seeing what the holiday season of 2022 looks like!
