Arrive a little before dusk to get the full effect of the lights.
Bring a camera or smartphone — the floating tree and light displays are especially photogenic.
Dress warmly, especially if you’ll be standing/viewing outside.
If you want to park and stroll a little, use the lot across from the Heath Pavilion — avoid parking along Garden Street.
Visit earlier in the month for lighter traffic; weekends may be busier.

For Santa’s Village nights, come a little early to beat the crowd and enjoy treats while they last.
