The spirit of giving thanks has come to life in Carlsbad Village in the form of the Giving Tree.


The Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) has transformed a large tree located near the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue, adding leaves with messages of gratitude from the community.


The paper leaves and markers are now available near the tree. Please visit the tree throughout the month, and write what you are most thankful for on each of the paper leaves. They will be collected daily and placed in a small mailbox.


On Wednesday, Nov. 26, the mailbox will be emptied, and all of the leaves gathered throughout the month will be hung on the tree in preparation for Thanksgiving.


The Giving Tree will stand in the Village as a symbol for what is most important to the community to be enjoyed by all who visit it. Visit the Carlsbad Village Facebook page for more updates!
