Getting there and what to wear
DART’s Deep Ellum station on the Green and Orange Lines is a short walk from Trinity Cider, and rideshare drop-offs are easy along Main Street, so you can skip parking. December afternoons in Dallas are usually mild, often in the 50s, and cool off after sunset. Santa outfits and Christmas costumes are all strongly encouraged; a light layer under your Santa suit is plenty.
21+ with valid government-issued photo ID.
