On Saturday, December 18, BYT & Flying Dog Ales are hosting a Christmas Lights Art Car Parade in Washington, DC.
The mission of Christmas Lights is for a band of merry revelers in Art Cars to descend upon Georgetown, grand marshaled by the Flying Dog Winnebago. (Willie's Bus ain't got nothing on this Gonzo land yacht.) The parade is open to the public, so Flying Dog and Brightest Young Things encourage everyone to decorate their vehicles and join in for what is guaranteed to be a night for the history books.
TIMELINE/ALL THE DETAILS YOU NEED:
* Parade participants will assemble at Jack's Boathouse at 7 pm for a welcome reception featuring CakeLove Gonzo Cupcakes (made with Flying Dog's Gonzo Imperial Porter) and hot cider. From there, the plan of attack is as follows. Please note that times are approximate.
* 8 pm: Head down K St to Rock Creek Parkway, up to Politics and Prose
* 8:30 pm: Politics and Prose - Celebrity Guests' LIVE Reading of How The Grinch Stole Christmas! with complimentary Flying Dog beers.
* 9:30 pm: Comet Ping Pong culmination party with Flying Dog draft specials, LIVE music from Sherell Rowe (DC) and Sidewalk Driver (Boston), and all sorts of kick ass awards for a variety of superlatives relevant to the night's festivities.
In addition to Flying Dog and Brightest Young Things, the Kirk and Mike Show on 105.9 The Edge will be spreading the Christmas Lights gospel in a lead up to the culminating parade on Saturday evening.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, this entire event is FREE. All car entries will need a designated driver on hand at the start of the Christmas Lights parade. In addition to art cars, DC's hardcore cyclists are also welcome to participate with art bicycles.

i dont understand, hipsters dont have cars
I guess you're right WTF. We went to P&P early to see the advertised parade and were disappointed when all that arrived was a marketing van for Flying Dog and two cars with some Christmas lights listlessly tossed on top, NO ART CARS. Yes, there was free beer and mini cupcakes, but we came for the parade. There was no parade. And there was no live reading -- just a recording of the Grinch played over the speakers at P&P.
my buddies and I had trouble getting to the meeting place on time. we had 4 bikes decked with battery-powered xmas lights, white fluffy stuff, and red ribbons - I was even wearing an inflatable reindeer costume. we arrived around 830 and just did a bike riding sesh of our own through the waterfront and M st... people were diggin' We'll be better prepared next year!
They may not have cars but they do have bikes
