The first time seeing it, years ago, it was spectacular. But, after seeing so many other light festivities, there are more breathtaking ones.
This one is nice, especially if you go opening night and you see all the lights light up at once! =) And, if you don't want to walk, take the Holly Jolly Trolley. It's fun, if you want accompaniment of Christmas music. But, the night we went, it was nothing but traffic and the driver took us behind buildings with no lights. I was a little disappointed, but I saw how much fun the other Trolleys were, passing by and even going through the old town! Ours didn't go that way ... hmmmm. Maybe I'll give it another try next year. If you go by foot, you can see pretty much everything the Trolley shows you, just be prepared to walk long distances. It's always nice to stroll the streets, grab some yummy treats, as you go by the shops. If you go on certain nights, they have the Boat Light Parade and lots of live misic, too.
All in all. If you want to stroll and enjoy the weather and city sights and lights. You can take some good pictures there.
My advice, get there fairly early!!! Parking is horrendous and afternoon traffic is no fun. Go early, grab something to eat, they have yummy restaurants there. Make a day of it and then enjoy the lights. It will be more fun when it's not on an empty stomach.
Merry Christmas, ALL!
