Tips & Advice
- Arrive early for registration to secure your spot and get your wristband before the 'North Pole Stroll' begins.
- Get creative with your Santa costume! Pirate Santa, Super Santa, or even a Reindeer are encouraged to stand out.
- Ensure you have a valid photo ID along with your wristband, as both are required for entry and specials.
- Pace yourself throughout the day; with multiple bars and hours of festivities, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
- Consider using ride-sharing services or public transport to navigate the event safely and avoid parking hassles.
