2024 Sundar Shadi Holiday Display

The Sundar Shadi Holiday Display will be open to visitors December 14-27, 2024. From 5-10 pm nightly, the lights are on and shepherds are available to answer questions.

For daily posts during the month of December and hundreds of photos, please visit our Facebook page.

Masks are currently not required in outdoor spaces but please monitor changing conditions through the State of California’s official Covid response website as we get closer to December. 

Location

7501 Moeser Lane in El Cerrito (near Seaview) El Cerrito, CA

This map puts you in the vicinity of the hillside area where the display is normally set up in  December. Street parking is available. Please drive and park carefully around other visitors.

Volunteer

The Sundar Shadi Holiday Display would not be possible without community volunteers. There are figures to be repaired, a wide variety of talent is needed. Can you wield a paintbrush, sew fabric? One hour here or a half day there. Good company and usually good weather.

I stopped by last Christmas when I was in town… took my kids (who are in their late 20’s), always amazing, every time! One of my best childhood memories. My parents lived off Moeser and Ashbury, it was just a short walk up the hill. The Christmas display and lights and night….just beautiful!

A highlight of my day as I traveled to high school in Berkeley, down the Arlington, from my house at the top of Cutting. Took my kids there to see the amazing Christmas display when it was still in his yard. Wonderful memories!

We lived in El Cerrito on Pomona from ‘78-88 & never missed a chance to visit & bring friends who had no idea what a treat they were in for. Used to see Mr. Shadi making repairs & adjustments … my wife’s favorite part was “A farm scene with snow.”

I lived about a block away from Sundar Shadi’s home back in 1969. My husband and I fell in love with his wonderful Christmas display … So glad the foundation is still putting up the Christmas Display! It’s just wonderful! I helped set it up about ten years ago with a dedicated group of volunteers, and it was fun working together to bring some Christmas joy to the East Bay!

Thanks for the memory! I remember driving slowly by his house at Christmas time to enjoy his display!
