A drive down Lehnertz Avenue and Lehnertz Circle, on Aurora’s northeast side of Aurora, at Sheridan Street and Lehnertz Avenue, likely will elicit the spirit of the season. The homeowners have joined to tell the story of Christ’s birth, with displays in front of every home from Sheridan Street, across Ohio Street to Sherman Street.
Drivers can continue east to Lehnertz Circle, where the homeowners look at the lighter side of the holiday, with Peanuts-themed decorations.
Lehnertz Avenue and Lehnertz Circle will turn on the lights of their displays at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15, with the crib blessing at 6 p.m., near the corner of Lehnertz Avenue and Ohio Street. It will be the 68th year of the tradition.
Lights will be on from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. from December 15 through Friday, Jan. 4, 2020. Lights will be on all night on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24.
The homeowners on Lehnertz Avenue invite everyone to come and share this 68-year tradition, telling the story of Christ’s birth through displays in front of every home.
Lehnertz Circle homeowners are celebrating their 40th-year tradition with the Peanuts-themed decorations.
