Festival of Lights Volunteer Days
Get in the Holiday Spirit and Lend a Hand! November 15.
The magic of the season is just around the corner, and Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park is gearing up for its dazzling Festival of Lights. Each December, the park sparkles with thousands of twinkling lights — but it takes a lot of hands to make the magic happen!
You’re invited to join us for Festival of Lights Volunteer Days on November 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will help deck the park in its holiday finest, and in return, enjoy waived park admission for the day.
Local businesses, organizations, and nonprofits are also welcome to create a nonsecular holiday display at no charge, highlighting their group for the thousands of visitors who come to enjoy the festival.
Pack a picnic lunch and take a break to enjoy the park’s many features during the day.
Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park is located at 11016 Lillian Saunders Drive, White Springs. For additional details, call 386-397-7009.
