All Aboard! In full Polar Express theme, get ready to party like you really want to - in your pajamas! Fun holiday drink specials are at each location. Jump on the free trolley to get to all of the stops. Each ticket holder also gets a free digital souvenir photo and has the chance to win one of our awesome raffle items!

How it works:

-From 6:00-7:00 pm, check in to get your "train ticket" and take a souvenir photo at the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce office (1307 N. Green Street, McHenry). You must be 21 and show a valid ID to be wristbanded and receive your route and lanyard.

-Between 6:00-10:30 pm, stop at participating locations for fun and drink specials.

-The distance between the furthest locations is about 1 mile. It is easily walkable; however we do have a trolley that will run between the downtown areas until 10:45 pm.

-Parking in some lots may be limited, so we encourage carpooling or using Uber/Lyft for locals. If you decide to drive to the event, please choose a designated driver.

- Drinks must be consumed in the bars. No open alcohol may be carried on the streets.

In addition to having a good time, you are helping to support the community!! All proceeds from the event benefit McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce’s efforts to support the growth and development of the business community and to continually improve the quality of life for those who live and work in the McHenry area.
