Tips & Advice
- Come to Light the City if you want to see the display on foot, because every other night of the season is viewed from your car.
- Plan to buy your tickets at the gate when you arrive, since they aren't sold online or anywhere else ahead of time.
- Use the SE 15th St. and Century Blvd. entrance to Joe B. Barnes Regional Park so you end up in the right place for the walk.
- Dress warmly for an evening walk outdoors in late November, and warm up with the hot chocolate served during the celebration.
Special Events & Promotions
- This is the first switch-on of the season for the Holiday Lights Spectacular, which has over a million all-new LED lights and a 118-foot lighted tree.
