Yes it's ball time of year! Here are some Frequently Asked Questions about visiting our lovely neighborhood and viewing the display:
1) There is no admission but we do ask that you bring some non-perishable/canned food to place in our donation stations scattered throughout the neighborhood. We donate all of it to local food banks like Second Harvest. If you need suggestions, please remember that people can always use canned/box milk, sugar, oil, spices, baby supplies and feminine products. And if you forget, look for the signs around the neighborhood telling you how to donate with your phone!
2) There are no set times- come after dark, obviously. Please drive slowly (we live here!) and enjoy the display. Feel free to park your car (not in front of a driveway, please) and walk around if you like. Lights are set on timers and will be off by 10pm in the park.
3) There are no set days- people put up their decorations when they want and take them down when they want. The highest concentration is the month of December. So plan your visit accordingly.
4) We're easily found near Friendly Center across from Wesley Long Hospital. You can click this link for a map- https://goo.gl/maps/sif91YBEDe92
If you need to put in a GPS location, use 2400 Friendly Ave Greensboro NC 27403 (address of the hospital) - once you in the vicinity you can't miss the decorations.
5) Finally, you do not need to worry- there are no plans to cancel anything EVER. Not due to the weather, pandemics, godzilla attacks, etc. We don't cancel anything- the lights are on unless the power is out and in some cases, even then. And the need is even greater than before as many fundraising groups are hard pressed to meet demand these days. So please come visit us and bring your food donations!
Hope this helps- enjoy our displays and Shine the Light on Hunger!
