One Village. One Voice. Village Voices is Back for 2026

Village Voices is back on Tuesday, January 13, and we’re excited to welcome the community together for the first gathering of 2026.

Village Voices is where the heart of Carlsbad Village comes together, bringing business owners, residents, and community members into the same room to connect, share ideas, and stay informed about what’s happening downtown. If you’ve never attended, this is the perfect time to join.

The January 13 meeting kicks off the year with complimentary coffee and networking from 8:00 to 8:45 AM, followed by an engaging program from 8:45 to 9:30 AM. We’re thrilled to feature two guest speakers:

• Jonathan Frankel, Rincon Homes, who will share updates on Rincon’s upcoming development projects breaking ground in 2026.
• Darcy Davidson, Carlsbad Fire Department, who will discuss fire safety for businesses and residents, including a live demonstration.

We gather at the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center, 2787 State Street, thanks to the generosity of the New Village Arts team and their welcoming, spacious venue that fosters conversation and connection.

Since launching in 2015 with just seven attendees, Village Voices has grown into a cornerstone of downtown Carlsbad. Even during the pandemic, Village Voices continued virtually, keeping the community connected. Today, it remains a trusted space to share stories, exchange ideas, and support the growth of our Village.

Village Voices meets on the second Tuesday of every other month, making it easy to stay involved throughout the year. The 2026 meeting dates are:

January 13

March 10

May 12

July 14

September 8

November 10

Join us on Tuesday, January 13, to hear from our speakers, connect with your neighbors, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of Carlsbad Village.
