Tips & Advice
- Keep your eyes on the Hilltop rooftop, because that's where Santa waves his hand and sprinkles the magic dust that lights the tree.
- Look down Main Street as well as at the tree at 4th and Main, since every light on the street switches on at the same moment.
- Stay after the lighting if you have kids with you, because Santa sits down to visit with them before he heads back to the North Pole.
- Dress warmly for a November evening outdoors, since the lighting takes place outside at the 4th + Main Plaza downtown.
