MANCHESTER, NH – These popular (and free) Trolley Nights are organized each year to celebrate the amazing diversity of artistic expression and dynamic museum experiences that the city of Manchester has to offer. One trolley will circulate the route between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. The trolleys start at the Commercial Street Entrance to the Millyard Musem at 5:00 p.m., but you can hop on and off at any designated stop.
Most venues are within walking distance of each other, and you are also welcome to drive, bike, or walk the route at any time.
