Who should skip it
You want rides and shows. This is a walk, a trolley or a boat, and that is the whole of it.
The move
Light-Up! Night (Nov 21) is the crowded one, with entertainment from 4 PM and the ceremony at 6:30 PM; every night after it is quieter and the lights are the same.
Getting there
Historic Downtown Parking Facility on West Castillo Drive, then walk. Do not attempt St. George Street by car at any hour in December.
One thing worth knowing
It runs 59 consecutive nights, from the weekend before Thanksgiving through Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.
Make it an outing
Dinner on Aviles Street first, lights after full dark. The order matters, the restaurants fill by 7.
