📍Check-In Location
All guests must check-in at Pat Connolly's, located at: 6400 Oakland Ave., St. Louis, MO 63139.

🚗Parking
Parking is not included with your ticket. Plan to arrive a little early to get a parking spot before boarding the trolley.
There is plenty of street parking available near Pat Connolly's.
👋When You Arrive
Look out for your spirited host wearing a red scarf and possibly wielding a flashing candy cane stick. Get ready to sign our event waiver before the trolley embarks promptly at departure time. Be prepared to show a valid ID verifying you are over the age of 21.
🍻BYOB
BYOB for the trolley, but ask your tour guide at the check-in table where you can store your drinks prior to boarding the trolley. Each host bar has a fantastic selection of additional spirits. If your drinks come in glass bottles, you are welcome to bring them onboard, however we ask that you pour the drink into a different non-glass container while on the trolley. We will provide you plastic cups that you can use.
Remember, no open containers outside the trolley. Beverages can be stored in personal-sized coolers (think: what can fit under an airline seat).
🧣Attire
While the trolley and the bars are heated, we will stop at various locations around the city that are not. We recommend dressing in layers and bringing hats, scarves, and mittens so you can have an enjoyable experience as you get up close to the light displays at each stop.
