If your holiday traditions include watching the Target Holidazzle Parade on Nicollet Mall, take Metro Transit for an easy ride to downtown Minneapolis.

This year’s Holidazzle season continues every Thursday through Sunday night through Dec. 18.

Hop on a bus in your neighborhood or catch light rail at a nearby station. You can even head downtown early for dinner or shopping. The parade starts at 6:30 p.m.

After the parade, enjoy downtown before you hop on and head home.
