An El Segundo holiday lights extravaganza will be scaled back this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, city officials announced. Since 1949, residents on East Acacia Avenue have concocted elaborate holiday displays that draw large crowds from all over Southern California. Torrance is taking a different approach with the Seaside Ranchos neighborhood, where attention-getting holiday lights are also traditional among residents. The Holiday Light Up neighborhood and parkway festival of lights is set for Dec. 12, according to the neighborhood association website. On the Palos Verdes Peninsula, a drive-through lights experience on Dec. 5 will replace a crowd-crushing holiday parade.
