Welcome to Norton's Winter Wonderland

 

 

Our 2011 display opened as scheduled at 6 PM on December 3rd!   Hopefully, we will not have as wet of a Christmas season this year as we had in 2010.  We lost a lot of days of operation due to rain.  Keep your fingers crossed that we will not have a repeat of last year!

Keith LaPrath's Winter Snowland - located a few doors away - began operation on the 3rd as well. Our neighbor across the street - Troy - has a gorgeous LED tall Christmas tree and other pretty decorations.  Many other homes on the block are nicely decorated as well.

So, our street is expected to be a buzz of activity from now until after Christmas.  We hope that you park the car and stroll by the displays.  There is a lot of detail and animation that will be missed in a drive-by. Also - we have webcams set up so you can call your family or friends, point them to our website - and they can see and hear you LIVE wishing them a Merry Christmas from Burbank!  Please take a moment to sign our guest log, too!  We love hearing from our visitors!  Next to the podium is Santa's mail box for your children to drop off their letters to Santa.  Santa picks up his mail every night at midnight!

If parking on the street is a challenge, you can usually park on Clark or Verdugo, or on Florence Street just north of Clark Street and walk a short distance to the displays.    

A word about weather - we cannot operate the display if rain is expected (or falling), or in very high winds (as we have experienced this December).  So - please check the weather forecast before heading out to Burbank.  The webcams are always on when the display is operational.  That is a good way to tell if the display is running - check the web cam!

Also - remember that the operating hours are 6-9 PM.  We do run a bit longer on Friday and Saturday nights (typically to 9:30).  We stick to this schedule as a courtesy to our neighbors.  One neighbor has small children and the display totally lights up their house!  Another neighbor rises very early in the morning for work.  We must respect their need for peace and quiet (and no bright lights!) on weekdays and weekends. 

We have had visitors in the past drive some distance to view the display - arriving here at 10 PM or later!  We cannot turn it back on.  So - please - leave early so you will have time to park the car and stroll by our display and the other displays on the block.  It is worth the trip to Burbank!
