🎅 A Few Tips:
To make sure everyone gets a chance to meet Santa, photo lines will close in time for him to head to the stage by 6:00 PM for the big light-up moment. It closes before 6PM. Arrive early to avoid the wait—trust us, you don’t want to miss it!
💡 At 6:00 PM sharp, watch as Brown Park bursts to life with thousands of dazzling holiday lights, officially kicking off the holiday season in St. Matthews. The lights will remain on every evening through the New Year for everyone to enjoy.
Rain or shine! In the event of dangerous weather, adjustments may be made to keep everyone safe.
