Tips & Advice
- Since the ceremony is outdoors on the Green in late November, wear warm layers to stay comfortable while watching the lighting.
- Arrive early to choose a good viewing spot on the Green before the tree-lighting crowd gathers.
- Wear comfortable shoes, since you may be standing outdoors during the event rather than sitting through the ceremony.
- Check the event page again before setting out, because the full schedule and entertainment lineup have not yet been announced.
