Save the Date for Volvo’s Holiday Lights Event
Mark your calendar for Volvo Construction Equipment‘s sixth annual Volvo Holiday Lights. This festive event — which runs Dec. 5-8 — allows community members to cruise through the company’s campus to see construction machines decorated for the season.
Volvo Holiday Lights is free and open to the public Friday, Dec. 5, through Monday, Dec. 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. each night. The company said about 4,000 vehicles are expected, filled with passengers enjoying lighted equipment, inflatable holiday characters, seasonal sounds from the Shippensburg Area High School band and nightly visits from Santa and Mrs. Claus.
“This is such a fun and heartwarming way to bring our employees and community together to celebrate the holidays,” said Melissa Cutchall, head of people & culture at Volvo CE. “Shippensburg is a community that cares, and our teams look forward to this opportunity to give back each year.”
Pick Your Favorite Display
According to the press release, Volvo Holiday Lights was started in 2020 to lift spirits during the pandemic and has become a tradition in the community. The company noted that the event also supports the work of nonprofits in the area. Some of the displays at Volvo Holiday Lights represent worthy organizations that will receive a monetary donation.
From the press release:
Along the route, visitors will see three displays featuring Volvo CE machines decorated by employees. The public is invited to “like” the photo of their favorite on the Volvo Construction Equipment North America Facebook page from Dec. 5 to 8, which will help determine the amount each nonprofit receives. Past recipients include local food pantries, shelters, animal rescues and many more.
Visit Volvo Holiday Lights in person at 304 Volvo Way in Shippensburg, using the Route 11 entrance to Rowe Road. Can’t make it? Vote for your favorite display via the company’s Facebook page, Dec. 5-8.
