Candy Cane Lane kicks off another holiday season

Purveyors of another Prairie Village holiday tradition flipped the on switch over the Thanksgiving break.

The Outlook Lane cul-de-sac off 79th Street made its typical transformation into Candy Cane Lane Friday, with homeowners passing out candy canes to visitors on opening night. Every house on the street participates, with decorations including typical lights on houses as well as ornate cutouts of popular holiday characters.

You can find out more about Candy Cane Lane and its history on the street’s website.
