A total of 200 glass hearts will be hidden at some of the most iconic and visited locations in the Carlsbad Village over a period of two days, and all you have to do is find one to take it home. The hunt is simple, but the rewards are extraordinary. The hearts will be hidden in plain sight and will not require a map or extensive searching to find. Some of the locations might include historic sites, near public artwork, a beach entrance, outside local hotels or common areas where you can sit, relax and soak up the ambiance of the Carlsbad Village.
And that's not all - if you register your heart using the instructions on its label, you will be entered into a drawing for some amazing local prizes, including a private glassblowing experience at Barrio Glassworks!
A map is not required, but the general Village boundaries will be posted on the Carlsbad Village Association (CVA) website prior to the start of the hunt, so be sure to check back before heading out. And don't forget, you're limited to finding only one heart per person, so be sure to choose wisely!
Once you've found your heart, simply return to the Carlsbad Village Association website to register it by entering its three-digit engraved number. The grand-prize drawing will take place on Valentine's Day, Tuesday, February 14, and the winner will be announced on the CVA website, as well as its Instagram and Facebook pages and in the CVA eNewsletter on Wednesday, February 15.
