- Arrive early, especially on weekends, as the drive-thru and walk-thru experiences can become popular, and you'll want ample time to take in all 15 scenes.
- Consider visiting on a weeknight if you prefer a more intimate experience, as crowds may be smaller compared to weekend evenings.
- Dress warmly for the walk-thru option, as you'll be outdoors exploring the scenes, and layers are recommended for comfort.
- If you choose the drive-thru, tune your radio to the designated station (if available) to hear narration that complements the visual scenes.
- Check the event's volunteer page for opportunities to participate; it's a meaningful way to be part of this cherished community tradition.
