Decorating Details:

Start brainstorming those creative displays! We’d love to see all businesses’ windows decorated and ready by Small Business Saturday on November 30th, but the final deadline is December 4th to be considered for the People’s Choice Award ballot. The earlier your windows are up, the longer the community can admire them, so don’t wait! Keep your windows decorated through the end of December for a full month of festive magic.

When to Vote:

From December 6 to December 16, 2024, locals and visitors alike can vote for their favorite windows on the Carlsbad Village Association website. Categories include:

• People’s Choice Award

• Kid’s Favorite, picked by the Boys & Girls Club of Carlsbad Village

• Best Holiday Window 2024, chosen by an expert panel of Carlsbad judges

Prizes & Recognition:

Winners will receive:

• A feature write-up with photos in the January/February edition of Carlsbad Magazine, plus social media shoutouts and a discounted ad package.

• A special write-up with photos on the Carlsbad Village Association website, along with dedicated Instagram and Facebook posts.
