Last year there were 12 dates. They had increased from the year before. Before they had them Sunday, Thursday & Friday, last year they added Tuesday. We went on Tuesday Dec 10 and it was not crowded at all, so maybe that's why they cut back on the dates this year. We go either Sunday or Tuesday and it's never sold out on those nights so we wait until we get there to get tickets to see what the weather is. Friday nights sold out. Last year that was a good move because some nights it was raining buckets.
