New this year! The Trolley Hop is occurring alongside WinterFest, a celebration featuring local seasonal craft beer and cocktails, live music, and some of Columbus’ best food trucks. WinterFest is presented by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department and takes place at Bicentennial Park (233 Civic Center Drive). For more information, click here.
