Call me cynical but this is done on purpose & is deliberate. Not for repairs but the timing.

I will chime in that we went to the Winter Wonderland lights at the Downs this year for the first time and it was fantastic.    I would recommend for anyone who has not gone yet,  it is worth checking it out next year when it comes back.   

I think the drive was around 20 minutes in length ,  30 dollars per car (a bit steep),  but my youngest had the biggest grin on her face which made it well worth going.
