Tinsel Town Trolley

Discover Sarasota Tours built its following on daytime trolley rides through circus history, public art and historic neighborhoods, but after dark its tours turn into small musical shows on wheels. The holiday edition, Tinsel Town Trolley, puts singing hosts aboard Dolly the Trolley for a 75-minute circuit of downtown and the neighborhood light displays, with group caroling down Main Street. Beer, wine and a cocoa bar are set up before boarding, and passengers are encouraged to dress the part. The company's own photos are full of Santa hats and reindeer headbands. Dolly is enclosed and air-conditioned, and the tour runs rain or shine.
