Made the mistake of coming on opening night. It was so crowded we could hardly walk. They really should charge admission to this or make the area bigger for people to congregate. In all honesty, I wasn't impressed with the lights either. Really not that spectacular, especially with all the portable spot lights blaring down everywhere. Took away from the effect. It was nice they did a free shuttle bus from the college to downtown. Parking was pretty hassle free with this service. I don't recommend this event given the vast crowds of people. It was not peaceful or enjoyable.
