Note from the Visitors’ Center Team
We are grateful for the amazing interest in the Festival of Lights. Each weekend, we experience very heavy traffic. In order to maximize your FoL experience, please consider coming Monday through Thursday. The lights are still as beautiful and your experience in the Visitors’ Center will be less crowded.
When you do come, please be considerate of local residents and follow all instructions by the parking attendants to maximize the safety of all.
Thank you for your support and assistance.
