The inaugural Chicagoland Holiday Bookstore Trolley will make its debut next month. Organized by the Chicagoland Independent Booksellers Alliance, the holiday trolley will take a group of 25 book lovers plus one guide on a festive tour of independent bookstores in Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Ten route options are available, with each route featuring stops at 4-5 indie bookstores–in total, 43 Chicago-area indies are taking part. The trolley tours will run on December 6, 7, 13, 14, and 20, with morning and afternoon options available.

How It Works
“There are 10 different routes to choose from, and each route includes stops at 4-5 bookstores. Each route has a unique starting location (in Chicago and Surrounding Suburbs) and a unique duration. Please review the schedule options carefully to make sure you select the correct tickets. Route details can be found on our website’s home page and on the ticket booking page.”
