Thanksgiving Events
Friendsgiving dinner tours, Thanksgiving Eve bar crawls (one of the biggest bar nights of the year), family dinner shuttles, and Black Friday shopping trips — we handle them all.
Thanksgiving Eve: Chicago's Biggest Bar Night
The night before Thanksgiving consistently ranks as one of Chicago's busiest bar nights. Everyone is home for the holiday, old friends reconnect, and neighborhoods like Wrigleyville, River North, and Lincoln Park become wall-to-wall with revelers. Our Thanksgiving Eve party buses let you hit the most popular spots without dealing with surge-priced rideshares, parking nightmares, or trying to coordinate designated drivers during a night that's all about catching up over drinks.
Booking & Pricing for Thanksgiving Weekend
Thanksgiving Eve buses book out fast — often by early November. We recommend reserving at least 3-4 weeks ahead. Pricing for Wednesday night is comparable to standard weekend rates, and most groups book 4-5 hours to cover a 3-4 bar route. Thursday and Friday shuttles for family dinners and Black Friday outings are also available at competitive rates.

Recommended Vehicles for Thanksgiving
The most popular vehicles our customers choose for thanksgiving in Chicago.
24 Passenger Party Bus
20-30 passengers
Twenty-four is the classic bachelor and bachelorette party number — two dozen friends ready to take over a Chicago bar crawl as one unified crew. The spacious interior means a real dance floor, a packed wet bar, and enough seating for everyone to regroup between destinations.
30 Passenger Party Bus
20-30 passengers
The 30-passenger party bus is Chicago's most-requested size because it nails the balance between party energy and personal space. Thirty people generate legitimate nightclub energy while still having room to sit, dance, and move between conversations without shouting over the crowd.
44 Passenger Coach Bus
40-56 passengers
The 44-passenger coach bus delivers high-capacity transportation for major events and multi-day corporate retreats. When a full division needs to travel together — whether it's a three-day planning retreat at a lakeside resort or a company-wide volunteer day — this bus handles the headcount and the logistics.
