Dress up, gather your friends/family/colleagues/club to join you on the season’s best joy ride

Published: November 23, 2022

The Wacky Tacky Light Tour returns to Birmingham December 13, 15, 20 and 22, ready to get our tacky on! Thousands of lights! Gravity defying displays! Blow-ups with enough hot air for a local election! Join Fresh Air Family as we seek out the best, worst and wackiest light displays in town, all on a two- hour guided bus ride. Dress up, gather your friends/family/colleagues/club to join you on the season’s best joy ride. All for a good cause: this past summer, this fundraiser for Fresh Air Family provided $25,000 in financial aid to summer campers who could not have otherwise attended Gross Out Camp, an award-winning science camp. 

The tour, which bills itself as the anti-Norman Rockwell events features homes that go over-the-top to decorate for the holidays. The tour includes Santa’s Trailer Park, the Hanukkah House, Dueling Neighbors, Star Wars Christmas and new houses: Saddle Up Santa and Xmas on a Limb. The tour is curated to light up the night with fun and festivity. 

“I personally curate the route. My standards are low, and hard to meet,” says Verna Gates, the original wacky tackier, and Founder and Executive Director of Fresh Air Family.

The event begins at Cahaba Brewing at 4500 5th Avenue South in Avondale. The mid-point is Soho Social, where we can refresh ourselves and our drinks. Tours leave every 15 minutes, at 6, 6:15, 6:30, 6:45, 7, 7:15 and 7:30. Reservations required. Prices $45 for tickets and prices vary for private buses. 

Seating is limited, so reserve your tickets now! Tickets for individuals and groups on sale now. Groups can book a bus, or part of a bus, for a holiday party for the office, club, team or group of friends. Email Events@FreshAirFamily.org for more information. 

Sponsored by Rare Transportation, Soho Social, Cahaba Brewing, Aquatic Gardens, EBSCO and Birmingham Parent. See www.FreshAirFamily.org or www.FreshAirFamily.org/Wacky-Tacky for details.
