Tips & Advice

  • Arrive early to explore the new Twilight Christmas Market before the food and pre-show entertainment get underway at Jells Park.
  • Stay to the end for Santa's visit after the main carols concert and the fireworks finale that closes the night.
  • Bring the kids in time for the pre-show, because the kids' activities run alongside the food and entertainment before the main concert starts.
  • Plan to have dinner at Jells Park, because food is available from the start of the pre-show entertainment, well before the carols concert begins.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: a Twilight Christmas Market opens early, before the food and pre-show entertainment.
