Tips & Advice
- Tune your car radio to 95.3 FM before you reach the first displays so the music plays in sync with the lights.
- Book a timed entry online before your visit, though drive-up tickets are also sold at the gate if you decide last minute.
- Skip November 30, December 7 and December 14 when planning your drive, since the show is closed those nights for scheduled maintenance.
- Visit on a Friday or Saturday night if you want food and drinks from The Stand, which is only open on those nights.
- Check road conditions before heading to the Youth Sports Complex, because nearby construction may affect your route to the show.
Special Events & Promotions
