After a winter hiatus, the South Main Trolley Night is back for 2024! "Trolley Night" is the last Friday of the month and the longest-running street festival in the city.
During Trolley Night, shops and galleries host open houses, usually with some live music, free drinks and snacks, and special openings or events. Restaurants and bars will also dish out specials for the occasion too.
It's a time to explore the South Main Arts District and find all those places you didn't know were open. If the weather is nice, you can expect a pretty good crowd.
While riding the trolley is a great, fun way to get from one end of Main Street to the other, for Trolley Night I actually recommend taking a walk so you can wander in and out of places, talk to people, and pick a new place to eat.
I always go to the @southmainmem Instagram account or Facebook page to see the specifics for each month, whether that's an art opening at Urevbu Contemporary Gallery, a DJ at Central Station, or music at South Main Sounds. I always love starting at Stock & Belle. For the first trolley night they're hosting a Women's Month Pop-Up featuring a bunch of women-owned shops.
