Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to secure a good spot for viewing the tree lighting and to ensure you get s'mores before they run out.
  • Dress warmly in layers, as the event takes place outdoors in November and bonfires may not provide sufficient heat for everyone.
  • Bring your own camera to capture memorable photos with Santa, as professional photo services may not be available.
  • Check the weather forecast closer to the date and be prepared for potential cold or snow.
  • Consider public transportation or carpooling if parking is limited, to ease congestion around Firemen's Park.
