Every year the residents of Hillside Avenue in Myers Park create a wonderland of lights in December. The decorations aren’t typical Christmas lights, but handmade light balls, made with chicken wire and LED lights. The light balls are of all colors and, in the darkness, appear to be suspended in the air — a truly magical experience!

You’ll find this display on Hillside Avenue, mostly between Selwyn Avenue and Westfield Road.
The display serves a greater purpose too. Every year, the Hillside neighbors collect non-perishable food for Loves & Fishes. Last year, they collected at least 75,000 pounds of food.
Follow Hillside Holiday Hunger Drive Through on Facebook for updates.
When you visit you’ll see a tent with bins for food donations. Last year, in 2022, they collected food donations through December 26.
If you can’t make it, you can also donate financially by texting “hillside” to 44321. $1 buys four pounds of food.
