Trolley Service by Azalea Limousine
Two 28-passenger trolleys from Azalea Limo will be the stars of this downtown show, running every twenty minutes along this path. This means locals and tourists alike can enjoy free rides to each of our seven districts, taking stops to explore them fully. We’ve always said that every district has a personality of its own, and now’s your chance to meet each one!
Visitors can park in the Skyline Deck and leave their car worries there. No parallel parking woes? Sign us up!
Special Promotions from Small Businesses
Yup, you heard that right. Tons of participating small businesses will be running special deals, promotions, and savings during the event! And, because there’s no better way to explore ILM than with a shopping bag in hand, we hope you’ll check them out.
This is the perfect chance to shop around any local spots you haven’t made it out to yet, plus, bring home a treasure or two. So, keep an eye on your favorite stores and their socials, as they’ll be rolling out limited-time offers soon.
