Tips & Advice
- Head to Santa first, because the free Santa photos only run during the early part of the evening, well before the parade.
- Register online ahead of time if you want to be in the Electric Lights Parade with your group or decorated vehicle.
- Stay after the Electric Lights Parade for the tree lighting, which follows it and closes out the night at Comeford Park.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors in the park, since the market, reindeer, parade and tree lighting are all outside.
- If you're staying over, call Holiday Inn Express & Suites by November 15 and ask for the "Merrysville for the Holidays" group block rate.
