We delineate the Tipp the Halls concept and its configuration in the Monroe Township building basement, describe its themed rooms and ticketed speakeasy, and explain that the space is available for private rentals through January. I emphasize the logistical particulars regarding preview-night tickets for the historic home tour, the holiday parade and tree lighting on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and the partnership’s role in coordinating vendors, volunteers, and decorations.
