To make your experience great, bring:

• Sunscreen and drinking water, especially if you are helping with setup.
• Layers of clothing including hats and gloves: It can get quite windy and cool in the evening.
• Drinking water and food. (The Waterside Workshops café has coffee, tea, snacks. No other food available in the park.)
• Donation toward event costs (optional, but this is what makes it all possible) — cash preferred.
• ​A flashlight — it gets dark around 8:30 p.m.
• We provide the lanterns (please don’t take home; we re-use each year) and all supplies for decorating.
• Please do not​ bring dogs; the event will be very crowded and uncomfortable for furry friends.

Special needs

• ​​ASL or other special needs: Please contact us by July 11.
• Wheelchair accessible (decorating and program occur at north end of lagoon, near disabled parking; entire event site spans approximately ½ mile along paved pathways).

• ​Disabled parking spaces along east side of East Bolivar Drive near Addison Street. Addison will be closed off; enter park (driving west) on Bancroft Way, turn right (north) on Bolivar Drive. Exit south and via Bancroft Way; no Addison St. exit.
