‘Tis the season and before you know it the holidays will have rushed on by. There is plenty of baking, shopping, and decorating to be done but you’ll also want to set aside to have some fun too! One of our favorite ways in Connecticut to take a time out from the hustle and bustle is to embark a cheerful holiday trolley ride. Journey through a sparkling tunnel of lights on vintage trolley car for an evening of holiday magic.
Winterfest and the Tunnel of Lights is an annual event at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor. Enjoy a spirited holiday trolley ride on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights, 5 p.m. - 9 p.m., from November 23 - December 30, 2018.
