Rockford City Market Rides

Watch for Trolley Car 36 FREE rides at Rockford City Market. Trolley rides travel round-trip and non-stop from the City Market Pavilion to the Symbol and then back to City Market.

A few things to know before you ride:

  • We must receive daily clearance from Union Pacific before operating, so Friday start times may be delayed.

  • The trolley is fair-weather only—no rides in the rain.

  • Alcohol and food from City Market is not allowed on board.

  • Rides depart every 30 minutes at the top and bottom of the hour and last about 22–25 minutes.

FREE trolley rides at City Market are made possible every year by our generous sponsors.
