Every year there's always a little confusion about what days & hours shops are open during the YDT. Your 2022 passport clearly shares that information for each shop. Passports will be available to purchase from every participating shop beginning Tuesday, August 30.

Here's how it works this year: Generally speaking, every shop is open during their regular hours in addition to these YDT hours:
Thursdays and Fridays 11 AM - 6PM
Saturdays and Sundays 11 AM - 5 PM
