## About

Since the 1920s, the four-block neighborhood of Peacock Lane in Southeast Portland has brought timeless community holiday magic to generations of families. Residents of the storybook 1920s Tudor and English Cottage homes decorate their yards and rooftops with elaborate hand-painted nativity scenes, rotating carousels, gingerbread houses, and millions of twinkling lights. Dedicated pedestrian-only nights allow families with strollers and wagons to stroll down the middle of the street safely while neighborhood volunteers hand out warm cider and cocoa.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Flat paved neighborhood streets and level sidewalks make it exceptionally stroller-friendly, especially on pedestrian-only nights.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Neighborhood street setting; warm family-friendly cafes nearby on SE Belmont and Hawthorne.
• Age Suitability: All ages.
• Sensory Tips: Gentle community stroll with cheerful caroling and festive lighting without strobe or abrupt flashing.
