Celebrating 30 Years of Community

For three decades, Light the Night has brought together families, neighbors, businesses, churches, and community partners for an evening of celebration, hope, and connection. What began as a neighborhood tradition has grown into one of Inglewood's signature family events, welcoming thousands each year and creating a safe, festive space where community comes together.

Thirty Years of Bringing Community Together

Light the Night is Center of Hope CDC's annual community festival designed to celebrate families while strengthening connections throughout the community. The event features live entertainment, games and activities for children, local food and retail vendors, nonprofit resource booths, community organizations, and opportunities for residents to discover businesses and services available throughout the area.

More than a celebratory festival, Light the Night serves as a gathering place where families create memories, local businesses build relationships, nonprofit organizations expand their reach, and community partners work together to invest in a stronger Inglewood.

As we celebrate our 30th Anniversary, we invite businesses, organizations, volunteers, and community members to join us in making this milestone celebration our most impactful yet.
