Join your neighbors for the 7th Annual Essex Junction Train Hop and Village Tree Lighting. This will be held on December 11th from 6-8 PM.
The Train Hop is a free community event! How it works:Businesses and community partners throughout Downtown Essex Junction host model train displays or train/holiday related activities. Maps are provided to visitors identifying Hop Stations - the participating locations. Wander around the Village enjoying all it has to offer and mark locations visited on your map.
The tree lighting will be at 6:15 PM.There is no cost to hop around the Village, but you'll want to bring your wallet! Five Corners Farmers' Market vendors will be selling stocking stuffers, food and more. Grab dinner or a drink downtown and support our local economy!
