Several people smile in Patchwork of the City Holiday Pullovers as they stand in front of the Painted Ladies.

Our Patchwork of the City Holiday Pullover is the perfect outfit for your night out at the rink. 

Special giveaways and treats 

Stop by our Merry Muni event table for small giveaways while supplies last. We’ll also have complimentary hot cocoa for a sweet way to warm up.  

Staff will be on-site to share more about the Merry Days of Muni and help take your photo by the rink.  

Show your Muni pride – and stay warm! 

Wear your Patchwork of the City pullover, any Muni merch or your favorite Muni-inspired outfit for a chance to win extra prizes. Anyone wearing Muni gear will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a Patchwork of the City Holiday Pullover (only sizes adult S/M/L/XL available for raffle, all other sizes available online for purchase) or a $25 Muni Store credit.
