Community Pride Advocates (CPA) is bringing its "Lights in the Park" contest back for a second year, solidifying what has been described as a "new holiday tradition" in Bullhead City. The annual event, held at Gary Keith Civic Center Park, provides a festive opportunity for businesses, organizations, and community members to contribute to the holiday spirit by designing and installing their own light displays. Organizers are currently seeking sponsors to support the growing event and its broader community initiatives.
Participation in the "Lights in the Park" contest is open to a wide range of local entities. Businesses looking to engage with the community, various local organizations, and individual community members are all invited to create a light display. These festive installations will be prominently featured on the north end of Gary Keith Civic Center Park, specifically situated near the park's main Christmas tree. This designated area ensures that all contributions will be part of a centralized and visible holiday spectacle for residents and visitors alike.
Beyond fostering a sense of holiday cheer and community engagement, the "Lights in the Park" contest serves a specific philanthropic purpose. All proceeds generated from the event, including funds from sponsorships, are dedicated to benefiting Community Pride Advocates' ongoing project: the creation of Harmony Park at Gary Keith. This initiative is a core focus for CPA, aiming to enhance public spaces within Gary Keith Civic Center Park.
The Harmony Park at Gary Keith project, which directly benefits from the "Lights in the Park" contest, holds a significant mission for the community. It is designed to support arts and culture in the Bullhead City area, creating a dedicated space for cultural enrichment and expression. By participating as display creators or sponsors, local entities and individuals directly contribute to the development of this cultural hub, reinforcing community pride and supporting the arts through tangible local efforts.
As this "new holiday tradition" enters its second year, Community Pride Advocates emphasizes the importance of continued community involvement. The call for sponsorships underscores the need for financial support to ensure the success and growth of the "Lights in the Park" contest. This annual event not only brings festive lighting to Bullhead City but also channels resources directly into projects like Harmony Park, further enriching the cultural landscape of the community through the committed work of Community Pride Advocates.
