Volvo Construction Equipment employees at the company’s North American headquarters are preparing for the sixth annual Holiday Lights event.
The manufacturer’s North American headquarters in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania will welcome community members to cruise through the property to see construction machines decorated for the season.
The free event is open to the public from Dec. 5 to Dec. 8, from 6 to 8 p.m. each night.
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.”
Volvo Holiday Lights was started in 2020 to lift spirits during the pandemic and has become a tradition in the community. The event also supports the work of local non-profit organizations, as some of the displays represent worthy organizations that will receive a monetary donation.
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.
To experience Volvo Holiday Lights in person, visit Volvo CE North American Headquarters at 304 Volvo Way in Shippensburg, Dec. 5 to 8, using the Route 11 entrance to Rowe Road.
To vote for your favorite from a distance, visit the Facebook page on the same dates.
