On Saturday, December 5, 2009 from 4 to 7 pm Volcano Village lights up with its Holiday Lights Celebration, a family event sure to delight youngsters and those young at heart! This colorful Christmas tree and light display features a children’s tree ornament contest plus entertainment. Children are invited to create a unique handmade ornament to be displayed outdoors on the Volcano community Christmas tree throughout the holiday season. Other festivities include an ‘ohi’a yule log hunt, caroling, marshmallow roasting, entertainment by community youth, light refreshments, and a visit by Santa Claus. Free, though calabash donations are welcome.
