Tips & Advice
- Skip the arc lot between Town Hall and the John M. Brown Community Center, since it is closed to cars, and use any other Town Hall Campus lot.
- Dress for the weather, because the festival runs rain or shine and the menorah lighting on Town Campus is an outdoor ceremony.
- Stay until the end of the afternoon so you catch the menorah lighting on Town Campus, which closes out the games, crafts and food.
- Look at the downtown parking map for more parking within walking distance of the festival, in addition to the open Town Hall Campus lots.
- Expect Town staff to be on site taking photos and video of the festival and the people attending, in case you'd rather stay out of shots.
