PLEASE NOTE: Jingle Bus tickets go on sale at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are only sold on a “first-come, first-served” basis until ALL scheduled buses for the night are filled. Due to the popularity of the event, it is not uncommon for all tickets to be sold out early in the evening. 

Narrated by Milwaukee Downtown’s Public Service Ambassadors, this 40-minute tour acquaints riders with downtown landmarks and the most decorated scenes. Even better, rides are just $1 per person!

Hop aboard at the NEW Warming House location in The Shops of Grand Avenue. Passengers will board and purchase tickets from the mall’s Center Court – 275 W. Wisconsin Avenue.

Awaiting riders will enjoy a Shops of Grand Avenue holiday favorite, an 18-piece animatronic symphony orchestra of bears, new holiday shops, and free cookies sponsored by Impark and hot cocoa sponsored by Wild Flour Bakery. Kids will also receive a holiday coloring book.

Nonperishable food items will also be collected for Hunger Task Force. As a thank you to families who donate, Stone Creek Coffee will provide one complimentary latte voucher for those that donate to the cause.

Tours operate Thursday through Sunday, November 16 through December 30 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.* The last bus departs at 8:20 p.m., so get there early to reserve your seat! Discounted parking is available in The Shops of Grand Avenue west parking garage for $3 until 10 p.m. when you present your Jingle Bus ticket stub. Enter the west structure from 2nd Street between Michigan Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
