Q: Is there a Drive Through Night and can you walk through during that night?

Q: Where can I drop off my can food donation?

A: There are donation stations at all four (4) entrances to the neighborhood. You can bring your donation with you at night. Or, if you’d like to drop off a donation during the day, the donation boxes are out 24 hours a day during the festival.

Q: Can you ride a bike?

A: We would prefer if you didn’t due to the large number of pedestrians.

Q: Can you take a stroller?

A: Yes.

Q: Can you bring your dogs?

A. Yes. But they must be on a leash. And please bring baggies to pick up after them. If your dog isn’t the most friendly, you may reconsider bringing them as there are many children and other dogs.

A: Yes. There are port-a-potties placed in various places throughout the neighborhood. Please don’t ask neighbors to use their home restrooms.

A: Yes. There are many large trash barrels throughout the neighborhood. The festival has no paid crew to pick up, please help us keep the streets clean.

Q: Are there maps?

A: The Food Bank gives out maps in exchange for a donation.

Q: Does Winterhaven earn money from the haywagon & trolley vendors during the Festival?

A: The money earned from vendors helps to pay for the police, barricades and other items for the festival. No money goes into the pockets of Winterhaven residents.

Q: Is the Festival of Lights a Christmas celebration?

A: The Festival of Lights is a celebration for everyone, regardless of religious affiliation. Light is a common theme among many of the major religions of the world. Winterhaven’s Festival of Light is a gift to all.
