Tips & Advice
- Park in one of the seven free garages, such as the American Greetings Garage, which is free all weekend, instead of using the metered spaces.
- Arrive early in the block party so kids have time for the holiday activities and photo spots before Santa arrives to light the tree.
- Bring your gift list, because local makers sell gifts at the block party alongside more than 140 shops, restaurants and entertainment spots.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors on the streets of Crocker Park, and warm up with food from the restaurants and visiting vendors.
- If you bring the dog, keep it on a leash, clean up after it, and look for the paw decal to find pet-friendly shops.
