From Nov. 26 to Dec. 23, the City of Vista will be hosting Jingle Terrace Park, an annual drive-thru holiday light event to support nonprofit organizations like the North County Food Bank. The path takes visitors along the driving loop in Brengle Terrace Park to see magical “lands” highlighting the City’s Recreation & Community Services programs.

The event is FREE to attend and will be open for drivers to enjoy from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring donations of nonperishable food items or cash to donate to help feed families in need this holiday season. Food Bank volunteers will be waving good-bye to you at the end of the drive and will help unload any donations you bring with you. Guests can also make donations securely online by scanning the Food Bank’s QR code on-site.

In 2020, 15,000 cars drove through this holiday light spectacular raising more than $30,000 and more than 12,000 pounds of food to help feed North County families in need!

In addition to supporting the Food Bank, visitors are also welcome to bring unopened and unwrapped toys to donate to the children of Vista’s adopted Helicopter Marine Corps Unit, HMLA 369. We hope to see you there!

This event is a food drive collection and not a food distribution event. If you or someone you know is in need of food assistance, please use our GPS Food Locator Map to find a food distribution or pantry near you – SanDiegoFoodBank.org/GetHelp.
