In addition to the walk-only nights, the lane will also welcome drive-thru traffic from December 2 through Christmas Day, ensuring that all can partake in the festive spectacle while prioritizing safety and convenience.
The revival of these cherished walk nights brings renewed excitement and a sense of togetherness, signaling a heartwarming return to the traditions that bind the community in holiday cheer.
