Catch the Trolley at Holidays on the Town in Downtown Palatine

Mark your calendars for the oh-so popular Holidays on the Town event set for Friday, November 22, 2019 from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. in historic downtown Palatine! This annual holiday kick-off is hosted by the Downtown Palatine Business Association (DPBA).

The DPBA Holiday Trolley will be circling the downtown area throughout this festive evening, transporting guests to the 23 participating businesses who will showcase their unique offerings, and provide in-store raffles, sales, special offers and so much more! Guests can also enter the ‘Rudolph Raffle’ for a chance to win one of two baskets filled with gift cards from participating businesses.

“Holidays on the Town has become one of those events that area residents really look forward to attending; the excitement of the coming holiday season is definitely in the air on this special evening, and our organization truly enjoys providing a night out full of fun for our guests,” said John Ruetsche, DPBA vice president and co-owner of Harrington Manor and Harrington Manor II.

At select locations, wine tastings, hors d’oeuvres and sweet treats will be available for guests to enjoy, and Santa Claus will be visiting each participating location, taking selfies with guests and spreading holiday cheer!

Passports provide entrance into the event and allow guests to ride the DPBA Holiday Trolley. They can be purchased at all DPBA member locations beginning Monday, November 11, or on the night of the event at all participating DPBA businesses for just $5.
