The Final Village Voices of 2026: Celebrating the Season and Christine Davis' Leadership

Blog Post - October 19, 2026

Mark your calendars for the final Village Voices of the year on Tuesday, November 10, from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM at the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center, located at 2787 State Street.

Join the Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) and fellow business owners, residents, and community members for a morning of connection, conversation, and a preview of the holiday season in Carlsbad Village.

Attendees will hear about upcoming holiday festivities, including the annual tree lighting and celebrations at Village Faire, seasonal business promotions, and other community events. We’ll also share a sneak peek at what’s ahead for CVA in 2027.

One Final Village Voices with Christine Davis

This gathering will be especially meaningful as it marks Christine Davis’ final Village Voices as CVA’s Executive Director. After 12 years of dedicated leadership, Christine will be stepping down at the end of 2026.

Since Village Voices began in 2015, Christine has helped make these gatherings an important opportunity to stay informed, share ideas, and strengthen community connections. We hope you’ll join us to hear her Village updates one final time and celebrate the lasting impact she has made.
