Tips & Advice
- Arrive near a show’s start, since the free light-and-music presentations begin every 15 minutes during the 5–10 p.m. event window.
- Visit the under-tree viewing area, which accommodates up to 140 guests, for a close-up perspective on the light show.
- Admission is free for all visitors, so you do not need to buy a ticket before heading to the tree.
- Dress warmly for an evening visit, as the tree is outdoors on the Tivoli Quad and shows run after dark.
- For the special New Year’s Eve ball drop-style countdown, choose December 31 rather than another night.
