Heart-Pumping Weekend Of Fun Is Less Than Two Weeks Away!

Get ready for a double dose of heart-pounding fun in Carlsbad Village!

Heart of the Village Blood Drive:

First up, is Carlsbad Village Association's (CVA) beloved Heart of the Village Blood Drive. For years, caring Carlsbadians have rolled up their sleeves to pump life into the community. Keep this heartwarming tradition beating strong by donating at Barrio Glassworks on 2/10 from 9am-2pm. There are only a few appointments left, so sign up now to secure your spot! We will also take walk in appointments if the schedule allows.

Giving blood is the ultimate gift. Your blood can be a lifeline for disaster victims, surgery patients, new moms, and cancer fighters. In just one hour, you could save three lives - three more people who get to see the sunrise!

Schedule your appointment now!

To become a hometown hero:

- Be 17+ years young
- Weigh 110+ pounds
- Bring your ID

Hearts of Carlsbad Village:

Then get ready for the Hearts of Carlsbad Village treasure hunt! This year's hunt has 400 gorgeous glass hearts made especially for this event by Barrio Glassworks. That's twice as many glass hearts as last year that we are hiding around downtown Carlsbad! Grab your crew and scout the Village to find these sparkly gems. If you're lucky, you'll snag a souvenir and get entered to win amazing prizes like a private glassblowing session.

Even if you come up empty-handed, you'll make precious memories. And Barrio Glassworks is offering a "local's discount" so everyone wins! Found or not, it will be an unforgettable adventure.

The hunt starts at 9am on Saturday, February 10th. Two hundred hearts will be hidden on Saturday, February 10th and again on Sunday, February 11th. The hunt begins at 9am each day and the last hearts will be hidden by 2pm each day. Check the event page - Hearts of Carlsbad Village (carlsbad-village.com) - for updates. May the hunt for hidden hearts bring you and your loved ones closer than ever!

Stay tuned for the boundary map where hearts are hidden, and additional details too!
