Planning for the Parade
Put together a swanky outfit or accessories in cheerful gold, silver, or jewel tones for this upscale night out! And hire a babysitter—this is a 21+ event.
Getting to the Galleries
Avoid the downtown parking hassle and walk in the windy cold weather with our VIP limo shuttle service. Free, reserved parking spaces are available exclusively for DAI party guests at the North Shore Scenic Railroad, between the Depot building and the highway. A limousine will be shuttling between the parking area and the nearby US Bank Building, with drop-off right at the convenient Michigan Street entrance just an elevator ride away from the DAI Galleries.
IMPORTANT: SHUTTLE WILL NOT RUN DURING THE PARADE WHILE MICHIGAN ST. IS CLOSED.
Shuttles available 5:00–6:15 to galleries and 8:00–9:00 back to parking.
Once You Arrive
Check your coat at the door, make a stop at the Black Woods catering table and cash bar, and choose your viewing angle from the bank of windows that span the entire Superior Street side of the US Bank Building. There will be some lightweight stools and folding chairs available, and enough space in the galleries to mingle and enjoy the exhibitions on view. DJ Lee Engele will be spinning holiday jazz for this cozy candle-lit evening.
Heading Home
Return to floor L1 and exit through the Michigan Street door to catch the next limo shuttle back to your parked car. Traffic will resume on Superior St. after 9pm, and those who leave sooner can exit onto the freeway via the frontage road accessible from the parking area.
