Tips & Advice

  • Have the kids bring their Christmas wish lists, because there's a chance to send a letter to Santa during the evening.
  • Dress warmly, since the ceremony is an evening gathering at the outdoor Miller Park Amphitheater in December.
  • Miller Park has a playground and restrooms, which helps with little ones before or after the tree lighting.
  • Bring your own camera or phone if you plan to go to the city's free Pictures with Santa events at the community centers later that week.
