Event Participate Information

Thank you for purchasing tickets to the Holiday Light Stroll presented by Langley Federal Credit Union, benefiting the Center for Child & Family Services! We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, November 25, between 5:00 PM–8:30 PM.

This is a one-night-only, rain-or-shine event.

Parking & Arrival Information - Please Note a previous email said there was parking available at Greenwood Elementary - There is NO parking available at Greenwood Elementary unless you have a VIP Experience Ticket or Add On.

⚠️ Parking Is Very Limited — Please Carpool Whenever Possible!

Parking is available only at Woodside High School. Because space is limited, carpooling is strongly encouraged to ensure all guests can be accommodated. We ask for patience for bus loadings and parking during the busy times, especially during the first timeline slot.

You will begin your experience at Woodside High School, where you will board shuttle buses to the start of the 2-mile walk. You will ride the bus only to the park; all participants walk the 2 miles back to the parking lot.

There is NO parking allowed on Woodside Drive or Ft. Eustis Blvd. Cars will be ticketed and/or towed.
