This year, for the first time ever,
the iconic holiday lights that adorn the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in St. Louis
can be enjoyed up-close as part of a new walking tour filled with fun,
family-friendly activities.
To celebrate, Anheuser-Busch is
holding a lighting ceremony open to the public at 4:45 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 22,
which kicks off season-long holiday activities on the brewery grounds complete with
the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch parading down Pestalozzi Street, live holiday
music and complimentary beer samples for adults aged 21 and older.
Following the grand lighting
ceremony on Nov. 22, the holiday lights experience will be open every Friday
and Saturday through Dec. 28 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. Guests can enter through the
entrance to the Tour Center, located at 1200 Lynch Street. The experience is
free, and free parking is available in the designated Anheuser-Busch Tour
Center parking lots, located on the corner of Lynch and 12th streets. The
holiday lights experience is also wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly.
For those interested in a guided tour, power trams will be available outside
the Tour Center hospitality rooms to escort guests through the twinkling
holiday lights.
