Opportunities From: Cantigny Park

Volunteer: Christmas @ Cantigny


Ho! Ho! Ho!

What?!  Do you think it’s too early for me to talk about the Holidays?

The Christmas at Cantigny calendar has been decided!  Please see the available dates below this blurb.

We will have lots of evenings that we could really use your help:   from November 19th through January 4th (mainly Wednesdays-Sundays) but a few Monday and Tuesdays sprinkled in.  Our visitors will be attending the Light Show and we are being asked to provide volunteers to greet our guests with a smile on our faces and assist them with wayfinding through the lighted areas.  You would be stationed outdoors (so please prepare to be dressed for the weather—extra layers are always a good idea) along the route.  The shift is going to be approximately 4:00pm-9:30pm.
