- Stay through the tree lighting, because the drone show starts right after and closes out the celebration.
- Bring your holiday shopping list for the vendor marketplace, which has gifts and goodies for everyone you're buying for.
- Dress warmly, since the afternoon runs into a December evening outdoors with the parade, tree lighting and drone show.
- Register through the city's sign-up pages if your business, dance group, choir or community group wants to take part.
