Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Friday to get the best selection from the 40+ vendors before they sell out of popular items.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all may accept card payments for quick purchases.
- Plan your visit around Santa's schedule if photos are a priority, and check for any specific photo times or lines.
- Take advantage of the free admission and explore all the uniquely decorated trees for inspiration, even if you're not bidding on them.
