Tips & Advice
- Check the event’s Facebook page before heading downtown for current updates and announcements, as event details may change.
- Plan to catch the Wonderland festival activities as well as the parade, since they are separate parts of the downtown celebration.
- Wear comfortable shoes for moving among downtown festival locations, and be ready for some standing during the parade and ceremonies.
- Bring a warm layer for the outdoor evening tree lighting and lighted boat parade, since December events can feel chilly.
