South Main Trolley Night Is Back!

"Trolley Night" is the last Friday of the month and the longest-running street festival in the city. To save you a calendar search, the next trolley night is April 24th.

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.

Yes, the trolleys are currently down at the moment for needed repairs but that doesn't mean the party stops!

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.

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 set at Central Station, or music at South Main Sounds. I always love starting at Stock & Belle. Otherwise, start at the north end and make your way down the street. Your reward can be a soul burger at E&H.

Here's what you can expect for the next trolley night of 2026 

  • Family and kids zone outside at Slider Inn
  • 20+ local vendors lining the sidewalks down the street
  • Street performers + musicians throughout the district
  • Shop specials and complimentary restaurants
  • Trolley Night is a rain or shine event!
  • Review South Main Association's list of events, deals and specials below!

Welcome!

I’ve been a fan of this blog since nearly the beginning. I always share the posts on what, where and when for the best of Memphis. I share your posts on the Graceland website. They welcome over 650,000 visitors each year and they are always looking for something to do at night. Many come for a week or more and since it costs foreign fans from $10,000 and up, they want to know of restaurants and events, especially Downtown.
