A fun family holiday event in northeast Seattle is the annual Candy Cane Lane. Candy Cane Lane is a cluster of houses all decked out in lights and themed decorations, located on NE Ravenna Blvd/Park Road NE at 21st Ave NE (see map below).

Beginning on Saturday night December 2, 2023, through New Years Day 2024, you can drive through or walk through Candy Cane Lane nightly.

Hours on Sunday through Thursday nights are from 4 PM to 9:30 PM.  Friday and Saturday night hours are 4 PM to 11 PM.

Pedestrians are welcome at all times, and you are encouraged to walk through for a closer look at the lights and decorations.   There are three nights when Candy Cane Lane will be closed to cars and will host pedestrians only:  December 7, 14 and 21.

You are encouraged to bring food donations (canned food like soup or dry food like spaghetti boxes) for the University District Food Bank barrel at the end of the lane.

See the Candy Cane Lane Facebook page for more details.

Directions:  from the intersection of 25th Ave NE, go west on NE 55th Street.  Keep to the right and follow the curve of the road, keeping Ravenna Park on your right.  Look for the signs at NE Park Road aligned with 21st Ave NE.

The history of the houses on this street called NE Park Road (Park Home Circle) is that it was developed in the 1920s with a site plan and architectural plan for the houses as a group.  The site was owned by W.W. & Louise Beck who developed the Ravenna community beginning in 1889.  In the 1920s their son Broussais Beck engaged architect Carl Gould to plan the site and design the Park Home Circle houses.
