Uptown Trolley Days!

July 21 • August 18 • September 22

Saturdays 9:00am - 2:00pm beginning at the Salvation Army lot near the Fulton Street Farmers' Market.


Riding the trolley throughout the neighborhood business districts provides an easy, carefree method of travel. No looking for a parking spot. No having to pay attention to street signs or stop lights. Just sit back, relax and take in the sights along the route. Check out construction underway in several neighborhoods. See new shops and meet their owners. Witness the positive changes occurring in the neighborhoods of Easthills, Eastown, Midtown, Wealthy Street and other Uptown neighborhoods.

Uptown Trolley Days rides are FREE to anyone wishing to ride. Just use the map and coordinate your schedule for the morning... begin at the Farmers Market and travel through Uptown business districts. Stop at Kava House or Commom Ground for coffee... Visit YT Gallery, Art of the Table, Wealthy at Charles and other neighborhood shops to pick up a unique gift for someone special. Browse for antiques, painted furniture and other unique items... schedule a hair appointment or sign-up for a Yoga class.

Brochures high-lighting the businesses through-out Uptown can be picked up before trolley days at the Fulton Street Farmers Market... as well as from neighborhood businesses throughout Uptown. Brochures will be available on Uptown Trolley Days as well.
