First Wednesdays Bronx Culture Trolley
The Bronx Culture Trolley, a project of the South Bronx Cultural Corridor has become a “must do event” on the calendars of “First Wednesday” regulars from all five boroughs and beyond. Making a cultural loop through the lower Grand Concourse, it provides an innovative way to travel free while giving its passengers the opportunity to sample several of the area’s hottest cultural attractions, dining establishments and entertainment venues on the first Wednesday evening of the month (except January and September). The trolley ride and admission to participating venues along its route are free. Optional cost to passengers is for food, beverages and souvenirs they may choose to purchase along the way.
A Typical Trolley Night

Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos
A typical trolley night begins at the Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos Community College with a meet-and-greet reception, a viewing of its current exhibitions, and a performance, film, or video.
