Touring Tips

  • Drive Carefully Please! If you’re doing a driving tour be mindful of the road and your surroundings. Briefly pull over to safely view lights. Watch for other drivers and allow them to pass you. Look out for pedestrians and always give them the right of way. Drive politely and quietly through neighborhoods.
  • Be courteous to the homeowners and their neighbors.
  • Best touring times are late evening and early night time. Don’t tour too late, many lights get turned off after 10pm.
  • Enjoy, be safe, and stay warm.

Happy Holidays!
