There was a good article in the Source this past weekend about it.

This will be my first Miracle on Main Street and I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to hunt down a guavaberry to try!

Where's the best place to park? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

So how was it? I didn't get to go.

There were a ton of people. We left at 9:30pm and people were just arriving. For the first time I saw clean up crews walking around during the event! We sang "Ho, ho, ho- How will Santa get here?" many times. The boat parade was fun. I didn't get to see my VINOW friends, though. 🙁

Merry Christmas everyone.

My husband and I went too. This was our first time attending this event and I thought it was AWESOME and so much fun!!!!

The entertainment was wonderful. I especially loved the traditional dancers in costume and all the different steel pan bands!!!

The boat parade is a great concept and very enjoyable, but there were only 4 or five boats that participated. It would have been great to have several more. Does anyone know why so few boats participate in this event? Is it more of a logistical problem (i.e., no good place to dock the boat afterward, etc. etc.)?

I was surprised that not a single cruise ship stayed later so that the passengers could enjoy this event................
