- Arrive early on weeknights to avoid potential traffic congestion, especially closer to the holiday.
- Tune your car radio to the designated station (if provided) to enhance the experience with festive music synchronized to the lights.

- Bring along some non-perishable food items or a monetary donation to contribute to local charities, as donations are often welcomed.
