Tips & Advice

  • Bring a non-perishable food item to donate to a local food bank, which gets you a discount on admission.
  • Hang on to your DECC parking ticket, since it lets you leave and come back to the lot later the same day.
  • Bring the kids, since children 12 and under get in free and Santa Claus poses for free photos with his fans.
  • Enter the raffle while you shop for a chance at prizes, and take a look at the decorated mini holiday trees up for auction.
  • Come on Saturday if you want more time to shop, because Sunday's hours are shorter.
