Additional Information

Old Towne Orange Holiday Lights Urban Discovery


Old Towne Orange is a historic district with that quaint small town feel deep in the heart of the city of Orange. The area features a neighborhood of Craftsman, Tudor and Bungalows amongst Spanish revival and other historic homes.

Every year the Old Towne Preservation Society holds a competition on best decorations for both Halloween and Christmas.  Some of the clues will include who has won what award.

Join us for this Festive Navigational Event on December 21st at 5:30pm.


This event will be a Score O which means you do not have to go in order. You may go any direction you choose and gain as many points as you can within the time limit. The further out the clues, the more points they are worth but judge your time carefully, those penalties add up quick.


Where: Meet at the parking structure at corner of Lemon and Maple. There is an area on Maple just West of the parking structure where bikes can be stored. This will be the start/finish.


Meeting time 5:30: maps will be handed out and instructions given. This is your time to plot your route. Pencils and clue sheets provided.


Start time: Mass start at 6pm sharp.


Finish: 7:30pm or earlier but absolutely no later than 7:30pm.


What is the time limit? 1.5 hrs. Penalties for coming in late are 10 points for every minute or fraction thereof.


Please check back in at finish even if you don’t want to continue. This ensures all participants are accounted for.

Points will be added up after the event and posted online on our website.


After finishing, participants are encouraged to enjoy the nearby downtown Orange district either as a group or on your own.
