In past years we've had many requests to move the day and time for the Carol of Lights, which traditionally is held on the first Sunday of December. We've listened to all of you who've requested a time more favorable for those who have early bedtimes. This year's Carol of Lights will be held in the afternoon on Saturday, December 13th from 2pm to 5pm in Downtown Campbell.

The Carol of Lights committee has been hard at work organizing the 2008 event. More details about this year's celebration will be posted as they become available. Check back soon and if you're able, we always need donations to help cover the costs of this annual tradition.

The Carol of Lights will again feature an informal parade as part of the festivities this year. The parade will start at 5:30pm and will be led off by Campbell's Mayor, Dan Furtado. The parade will start at Ainsley Park (right next to the light rail tracks). Dan will be accompanied by Sal Quezada, a Campbell Police Officer on motorcycle and Santa Claus.

Participation in the parade is open to all. If your group would like to participate, just email us at info@caroloflights.org.

We're got a series of entertainment acts and carolers lined up for the Carol of Lights, but we still have room for a few more. If your group is interested in caroling or performing at the Carol of Lights on a volunteer basis, please contact Neil Collins, owner of Trailsloggers, at 408-866-5888.

Yikes! My how time flies! The Carol of Lights 2007 is fast approaching. This year's event will be held on Sunday, December 2nd from 5pm to 8pm in Downtown Campbell. Be sure to sign-up for our mailing list and keep an eye on this website for forthcoming updates.

Meanwhile, we can always use your help funding this wonderful community event that is enjoyed by over 10,000 children and adults alike from all over the South Bay. The Carol of Lights festival receives no public funding and relies entirely on volunteer labor and generous contributions from people like you to keep it going strong. Please help us out with your donation of $10, $20, $30, $50, or any amount that you can afford to contribute. Please see our Donations Page for more information on how you can contribute.

As part of the citywide garage sale on Saturday, Oct. 13th, the Carol of Lights Committee held a big collective garage sale to help raise money for the Carol of Lights. Thanks to all who donated goods to sell and all who volunteered to staff the sale. Many people from throughout the Campbell community came together to donate part of their Saturday or just about all of it to manage the goods, set-up, and clean-up.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The 20th Annual Carol of Lights was a huge success. Photos from this year's Carol of Lights have been posted on Social Wave. If you have some Carol of Lights photos that you'd like to share with the community, you can add your own photo to the album (registration required).
