FAQ’s

I’ve purchased a ticket! Now what?

Attendees will check in at the Downtown Rutland Partnership's office, located at 28 Center Street, starting from 4:45 pm to collect a map, tasting glass, and shopping bag. Following that, guests will explore the various participating locations at your own pace and order.

For those who purchased a ticket that includes alcohol sampling, you must present a valid ID at check-in. You must be 21 or older to sample alcoholic beverages. Drinking responsibly is highly encouraged, and we strongly suggest pre-arranging safe transportation.

I don’t drink alcohol. Can I still attend?

Of course! If you don't drink alcohol or are a designated driver, you can still enjoy the Jingle Bell Shop with a $15 non-drinking ticket option. This ticket allows you to sample food and taste non-alcoholic drink vendors, receive an entry into the raffles, and be eligible for door prizes!

Will I be able to buy a ticket the night of the event?

Certainly! While it is possible to purchase a ticket at the Downtown Rutland Partnership office before the event, we highly recommend securing your ticket online in advance. This way, you'll have extra time to enjoy the event and minimize the time spent waiting in line!

The proceeds from ticket sales benefit the Downtown Rutland Partnership, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to managing, marketing, and maintaining the Downtown District in Rutland, Vermont. We organize events and initiatives that enhance the vitality of our local business community and improve the cultural and physical environment of downtown Rutland. Support from events like this enables us to continue our efforts in business development, marketing, and streetscape initiatives. For example, we decorate the entire downtown for the holiday season, which includes hanging garlands on the lampposts, giant snowflakes across the streets, stringing lights on the trees along Strongs Avenue and the beautiful Christmas tree in Depot Park.
