This is our first year in the valley and when we heard about this event ,I bookmarked it and made it a must visit in my list.
We went there by 6 in the evening and it took us a couple of rounds to all the free parking lots first and we are lucky enough to get one space. There are two public parking lots available which you can easily get parked if you reach by their start time. Otherwise it is just $10 parking .
There are Christmas lights decorated all the way on the downtown and there are numerous kids rides which is the reason the total place is mostly kids running and cheering(Of course that is all about holiday time).
Also they have some local truck vendors offering hot food and all I recommend this event for people who wish a clean family fun and a evening well spent in middle of the crowd .Once an year - So MUST TRY!!!
