Community volunteers make the Sundar Shadi Holiday display happen. Help set up, greet visitors, or preserve the figures. Join us!
Set-up and Take-down
No sign up needed, just show up! The Sundar Shadi Holiday Display would not be possible without community volunteers who help load, transport, and place the many display figures. Check the weather and dress accordingly. Work gloves are helpful, no prior experience needed.
- Set-up Day 2023: Saturday, December 16 starting at 9 am.
- Take Down Day 2023: Wednesday, December 27 starting at 9 am.
- Location: Moeser Lane display site

Volunteer Shepherds
Shepherd volunteers help greet visitors and answer general questions about the display. Shifts normally run from 5 – 7:30 pm and 7:30 – 10 pm nightly.
For more info or to volunteer, email Donna Houser at donna.houser@alumni.berkeley.edu.
Repair Figures
In between Display seasons, volunteers help restore and maintain the display figures, some of which are over 70 years old. We are always looking for help in a variety of ways to keep the figures painted and repaired.
