Experience the Twin Cities revealed a festive new local event for the2020 holiday season, the All Is Bright Holiday Lights Tour. The private 30-minute family-friendly tour takes place in the Experience the Twin Cities open-air bus and travels through the dazzling light displays of Inver Grove Heights with Santa at the wheel playing seasonal tunes. Patrons are encouraged to dress warmly, bring blankets, and bring warm beverages. Time slots are available from 5:30 pm to 9:15 pm Thursdays through Sundays in December. Advanced reservations are required and can be purchased on the Experience the Twin Cities website.

“We’re really excited to offer a fun and safe event to help celebrate the holidays and embrace our Minnesota winter. It’s been a challenging year and safety is our top priority, so utilizing our open-air bus puts a fun, hearty Minnesotan spin on an outing to help families and small groups get out of the house and feel festive together,” says Rebecca Pfeiffer, owner of Experience the Twin Cities.

Experience the Twin Cities’ open-air bus fits up to 13 people and the All Is Bright Holiday Lights Tour is open to private groups only. Reservations must be made in advance on the Experience the Twin Cities website. A festive snack pack featuring local favorite, Candyland Chicago Mix popcorn, is also available for purchase.
