Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to secure parking at Highland Elementary, as it's the designated lot and can fill up quickly, especially before the 7 PM tree lighting ceremony.
- Bring cash for purchases at the Kris Kringle Market, as not all local makers may accept card payments.
- Dress in warm layers, as the event takes place outdoors in December, and consider bringing a thermos for your favorite hot beverage if you prefer it over the complimentary options.
- Check the Highland DDA website or social media for any last-minute updates or weather-related schedule changes before heading out.
- Take advantage of the horse-drawn wagon rides early in the evening before the crowds gather for the tree lighting ceremony.
