Tips & Advice
- Come at the start to hear the school choirs and bands, since their performances lead up to the lighting of the 30-foot tree.
- Help kids write their Santa letters at home first, with their name, wish list and home address, so Santa can send a reply.
- Mail letters to Santa by December 11, since letters dropped off later are not guaranteed a response.
- Walk past the new Dublin Tree Lane decorated trees while you're at the Civic Center, since they go on display the same night.
