FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. What should I wear?
Dress for the weather, because it can get a bit nippy up top (and down below) on our vintage bus! We encourage you to don your cozy sweaters, snug hats, and toasty mittens or gloves to enjoy to festivities! Just a little tip: make sure your clothing and hats are secure while we’re cruising along, so you don’t lose your fabulous flair in the wind! So, layer up, have fun with your outfits, and get ready for the fun!

3. What if it rains?
While we can’t control Mother Nature, we’re ready for anything—except for heavy downpours!
