Join Us for the 6th Annual Lodi Fire Foundation Christmas Festival!!

This year, the Lodi Fire Foundation is hosting its sixth annual Christmas Festival. The Christmas Festival has evolved into an anticipated event that not only supports the Lodi Fire Department, but local businesses as well! Admission is free for everyone! This year’s event will be held Saturday, December 5, 2026 at Hutchins Street Square. The Santa Truck along with Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there for photos. The Lodi Fire Department will be preparing tasty food and there will be local treat, beverage, and retail vendors. We will even have a mimosa bar for the grown-ups! There will be a variety of free crafts and activities for kids ages 2 to 15.

Thanks to the generosity of the community, last year’s event was a huge success! We were able to raise $49,000 which has been allocated for the future purchase of a replacement Brush Truck. The Fire Department’s existing Brush Truck is a 2000 model that has fulfilled its useful life. A Brush Truck is utilized for weather incidents, wildland fires, the nature area at Lodi Lake, and river access areas, which a full-size engine cannot access. The Brush Truck is the only city-owned vehicle that has pump and roll capabilities which allows the apparatus to be driven while pumping water and extinguishing a fire. The funding campaign for this vehicle is ongoing.
