OR
AVOID THE CROWDS•TRAFFIC•MASSES•PACKED BUSES•INSANITY!!
Watch it on TV!!

That's what I'd do as ALL the main tv channels in Costa Rica will be airing their angle of the Festival de la Luz.  Here's a list of the Costa Rica tv stations:

BETTER YET - DRIVE AROUND LOOKING AT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
The streets and many businesses from the Museum in Sabana Park all up Paseo Colon and much of Avenida 2nd•Segundo are lit up throughout the Christmas season - I think till at least New Years Day - so save yourself the crowds/masses and wait till the mass exodus heads to the beach and the town is dead - around December 26 till at LEAST January 1 - and take a ride at night to check out the beautifully lit up buildings and streets!!
