Tips & Advice
- Bring a valid ID showing you are 21 or older, because everyone has to show one to get into this grownups-only night.
- Wear your ugliest holiday sweater or your most festive outfit, since dressing up is part of the party.
- If someone is driving you, use the drop-off zone at the white curb on Bellevue Ave. and walk the paved path up to the main entrance.
- Dress warmly in layers, because the market, dancing and music all happen outdoors in the park after dark in December.
