Holiday Kindness
To make the experience magical for everyone, please remember to park with your headlights off and take your time as you approach the display. The street can get busy, so we ask that you be courteous to those around you. Many guests enjoy strolling with hot cider, hot coffee, and stopping by to donate. For your safety, please stay on the sidewalks and enjoy the lights from there, as the display uses high voltage.
