Support Celebration in the Oaks
Celebration in the Oaks ™, City Park's annual holiday celebration, offers volunteer opportunities for groups and individuals and sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $75,000. This event runs from late November to early January and attracts more than 500,000 visitors to the park each year. For more information about opportunities and recognition, check out our Participation Opportunities. As you may know, City Park receives no operating funds from the city and a very limited amount from the state, so it is only with the outpouring of support such as yours that we can provide the New Orleans community and its visitors with this spectacular event as well as other attractions and events throughout the year.
Volunteer Participation
Celebration in the Oaks ™ invites you to join the various groups who, through their volunteer support, have made City Park's annual lighting exhibit one of the most spectacular and popular displays in the country. Each year groups and individuals are needed to help the park's small staff set up, decorate and light in preparation for this major annual event. Our volunteers are an essential element of Celebration in the Oaks ™. Involvement in Celebration in the Oaks ™ will provide you or your group with an association with a large community event attracting over 500,000 people to City Park. City Park receives minimal state funding for operating expenses and is dependent on fundraising activities such as Celebration in the Oaks ™ and community support. Please assist us and demonstrate your commitment to City Park's 1300 acres of green space, providing recreational opportunities to over a million visitors annually. If you are interested in volunteering, please e-mail: sryman@nocp.org.
Celebration in the Oaks Needs You!
Celebration in the Oaks ™ was created in 1984 to generate revenue at a slow time of the year for City Park. Revenue, visitation and community participation have increased annually allowing City Park to benefit financially and gain valuable exposure for City Park's 1300 acres of green space which provides quality recreation to over a million visitors annually. Our major sponsors provide invaluable support and financial assistance. As the event has grown we have reached out to the community to grow with us. Please email us to participate. We recognize that you are asked to give to many worthy causes each year and we appreciate and value your consideration.
