How it works...

Dinner: Once you arrive, you will be seated at a table in the Biga dining room where you will be ordering from a 3 course menu. The ticket price includes food (orderd from the Holiday River Parade menu), your parade seat, tax and gratuity. Any additional items like drinks will be billed to you and payment will be made before any guests in your party claim thier parade seats.

Biga doors open at 5pm. (We ask that all parade package participants arrive no later than 5:30. This will allow you enough time to eat dinner before the parade starts.)
