Carlsbad Village Holiday Window Decorating Contest
We are at it again! With the help of the downtown Carlsbad businesses, we are looking forward to spreading holiday cheer and transforming Carlsbad Village into a dazzling winter wonderland! The 2024 Carlsbad Village Window Decorating Contest, generously sponsored by Carlsbad Magazine, invites Village businesses to showcase their creativity and festive spirit. It’s a fantastic opportunity to attract visitors and celebrate the magic of the season.
Key Dates
• Sign-Up Deadline: Wednesday, November 27, 2024
• Window Decoration Deadline: Wednesday, December 4, 2024
While we hope all Village businesses will have their windows decorated and on display by our Small Business Saturday celebration on November 30th, when hundreds of people will be downtown supporting our Mainstreet merchants, the final deadline is December 4th in order to be put on the People's Choice Award Ballot. Remember, the sooner windows are on display, the longer the community can enjoy them!
