Get ready to sparkle (and maybe squeal) on our Tacky Light Christmas Book Bus Tour — a merry, over-the-top evening of blinking bulbs, glittery sweaters, and two cozy bookstore stops where books meet bling.
What to expect:
A guided drive through the city’s most gloriously gaudy holiday light displays — think inflatable Santas, synchronized LED extravaganzas, and enough tinsel to make your tree jealous.
Two festive bookstore stops:
The Bookmark — browse a curated shelf of heartwarming romances, whimsical fantasy, and stocking-stuffer paperbacks while we host an ugly-sweater photo op before you hop on board the bus!
Hanover Books — pop in for hot cocoa, a quick holiday read roundup from their staff, and a chance to snag a festive discount on select treasures.
A playlist of cheery (and delightfully cheesy) holiday jams to keep spirits high between stops.
A custom Book Bus Tour swag bag, with bookmarks, stickers, and goodies and discounts from participating stores.
Surprise giveaways and a contest for "Tackiest Outfit" — prizes include bookish merch and store gift cards.
Who should come
Anyone who loves holiday kitsch, cozy bookshops, and an excuse to wear sequins and reindeer antlers.
Perfect for couples, friend groups, and families who appreciate blinking lights and silly holiday cheer.
Logistics
Meet-up location and detailed route provided after ticket purchase.
Tour lasts ~2.5 hours; driving form with short walking stops at each bookstore.
Light snacks and beverages available during the bus tour.
All ages welcome; children must be accompanied by an adult.
Why join?
This isn't your quiet caroling night — it's a joyful, twinkling romp that pairs the best of tacky holiday spectacle with bookshop coziness. Leave ordinary behind and trade it for hot cocoa, bright lights, and bookish delights.
Bring your brightest sweater, your camera, and a big appetite for holiday absurdity. Spots are limited!
