Holiday light show that donates to charity canceled this year due to new parking law

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (KUTV) — A holiday light show that donates the proceeds to charity will not go on this year because of a new parking law.

A recently passed ordinance in West Valley City, Utah prohibits drivers to park a car on any residential street within five feet of a driveway.

With so many people who come out to see the light show, known as the "Lights on Wakefield," the homeowner said he's not going to chance anyone getting a ticket while at the show, so it’s not happening this year.

“We would have the 20-foot snowman, and I mean just Christmas cheer, it's Christmastime and everybody is supposed to be happy,” said Robbie Gowers, who has put on the holiday light display in front of his West Valley City home for the last 14 years.
