The evening of Friday, May 27 is not only the beginning of a long 3-day Memorial Weekend, but it’s also Trolley Night on South Main. Many of the shops and galleries will be open from 6 to 9 PM, and many will put out beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres.
South Main is celebrating by throwing a carnival. Street performers, magicians, henna artists, sideshow acts, face painters, artisans, strolling musicians, yummy food! There will also be a cook-off as defending champion Ella Bella faces off against Gary G. in a Taster’s Choice contest. Taster’s Choice? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up to be a taster.
I haven’t got the official word yet, but the South Main Association usually grills out when the weather is nice, with burgers, dogs and Ghost River beer for SMA members.
The Trolley Night will also support the American Red Cross Mid-South Chapter to support victims of the recent flooding.
Okay, that concludes the “official” list of what’s going on at Trolley Night… but I’m adding one more “unofficial” event. I hereby announce that Trolley Night will be the kickoff party for Tube Top Month. Every year from the beginning of Memorial Day weekend to the end of Independence Day weekend, this blog conducts a month+ long celebration of the greatest fashion item ever, the tube top. Ladies, want to be on the blog? It’s easy. Wear a tube top to Trolley Night, come find me, and I’ll snap a photo.
The weather is almost always cooperative in May, so come on out for one of the best Trolley Nights of the year!
