Hop Summer Nights is back! And with an added twist this year to celebrate five summers of beating the August heat onboard The Hop.
Our usual Hop Summer Nights event onboard The Hop is Sunday, Aug. 10, from 4-6 p.m. Local favorite Pete’s Pops will once again bring their refreshing “hopsicles” to the party, available for free to all riders while supplies last, while local pianist JL Russell and his Smoothwalk jazz group will treat riders to cool live jazz.
We've also introduced a new “Ride. Chill. Win.” contest. Hop riders can earn a new entry into our Hop Summer Nights prize drawings every time they hop on The Hop throughout the month of August. To participate, riders simply need to hop on board. Each of the Hop streetcars has QR codes on board for riders to scan and log their journey. The more you ride, the more chances you’ll have to win!
Joining the Hop Summer Nights on-board event is as simple as hopping on board. While there are two M-Line streetcars in service on Sundays, only one will be hosting Hop Summer Nights. To locate the correct streetcar, riders are encouraged to download the Transloc real-time app by visiting thehopmke.com/real-time-app. On Aug. 10, look for an alert in the app notifying riders which streetcar features the free popsicles and jazz, and then use the real-time position of the car to hop on board. Riders can also be on the lookout for Hop Summer Nights decals in the windows of the featured streetcar.
