VIDEO: 20 Homes Synchronized to Holiday Lights, Music
Bainbridge Circle's synchronized holiday light and music display is sure to get Murrieta viewers and beyond into the spirit.
Bainbridge Falls, a block of homes near Murrieta with holiday lights synchronized to music, is back this year and bigger than before.
"We now have 20 houses that are sync'ed up," said main organizer and Bainbridge Circle resident, Ted Weist, who took three weeks of vacation from work to engineer this year's display.
Named Bainbridge Falls after Bedford Falls in the classic Christmas movie, "It's A Wonderful Life," the street launched this year's display Thanksgiving night.
