Tips & Advice

  • Dress in warm layers for the December evening, since the parade and fireworks are downtown and likely involve standing outdoors.
  • Arrive early to find a comfortable viewing spot downtown before the parade begins, especially if you want a clear view of the floats.
  • Bring a charged phone or camera to capture the floats, Santa's visit, and the fireworks finale.
  • Keep children close while watching the procession, since parade crowds can make it harder to stay together.
