Tips & Advice
- Bring a phone or camera for photos with Santa and Mrs. Claus, who join the evening alongside the Christmas music and dance performances.
- Get there before the lighting so you can join the crowd in counting down to the moment the tree lights up.
- Dress warmly, since this is an evening gathering on the Plaza at Old Town Crossing in early December.
- Make a weekend of it with the old-fashioned Christmas Parade through Old Town the following evening, which has a Winter Wonderland theme this year.
