Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive early to explore the Holiday Market and secure a prime spot for the tree lighting ceremony, as popular vendors and seating fill up quickly.
- Bring cash for vendors at the Holiday Market, as not all may have card readers, and consider bringing a reusable bag for your purchases.
- Check the weather forecast and dress in layers, as the event takes place outdoors and can be cool in the evening, even with festive activities.
- If you plan to bring children, take advantage of the craft station and the opportunity to meet Santa, but be prepared for potential lines.
- Consider carpooling or arriving slightly before the official start time to navigate parking more easily, as Quarry Park can become busy.
