About this event

Event image

Picture it. A light snow blankets Chicago's Magnificent Mile. You're cruising in a warm luxury party bus, listening to your favorite Christmas songs, gazing out the window at the dazzling lights that make the city sparkle. You've got your favorite beverage in hand, surrounded by your friends and family, all feeling that same Silver Bell BUZZ. Are you dreaming of a white Christmas? NOPE! You're on Santa's BYOB Holiday Party Bus and you're doing a little Christmas Cruisin'!

Join in on the fun as we take you to and from some of Chicago's most memorable attractions in a climate controlled party bus. Santa usually rides in this luxury party bus with all of his elves, but he's letting us borrow it for a few weeks!

Plus, this experience will start and end right across from iconic Wrigley Field and the Wrigleyville Christkindlmarket! After the party bus you can even head down Clark Street to check out the bar scene as the Wrigleyville neighborhood turns into a Winter Wonderland of venues taking their decorations to the next level!
