Essex Junction Train Hop and Tree Lighting
Join your neighbors for the 7th Annual Essex Junction Train Hop and Village Tree Lighting. 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.
