- Nānākuli Avenue closes to traffic earlier in the day, so follow the marked alternate routes if you're driving around the homestead.
- Bring the kids with a parent or guardian early in the evening, because the Operation Blue Light Christmas gift booth closes well before the rest of the event.
- Leave pets and alcohol at home, because this is a drug- and alcohol-free event and HPD and event security are on hand the whole time.
- Park neatly at the school and pick up your opala, since the school is lending its grounds for public event parking.
