Tips & Advice

  • Stay to the end, because the Christmas tree bonfire comes after the performances and closes out the evening.
  • Dress warmly, because this is an outdoor January evening in the park around a bonfire.
  • Bring a little cash or a card for the carnival toss game, the one paid activity, where every player wins a prize.
  • If you need handicap parking, use the Porter Street access to the gravel lot.
  • If the weather is bad, remember that the rain date is the following Sunday.
