Essex Junction Train Hop

Essex Junction Train Hop is an annual event that celebrates local businesses while creating a unique social opportunity for our community. Event goers are given a train map that lists all the participating businesses and are encouraged to get their map “stamped” at each location around Five Corners and Maple Street Park. With each stamp, participants will receive a raffle ticket, giving them the chance to win prizes from participating Train Hop businesses. Tickets can be dropped off at the end of the event at either the information booth or Maple Street Park. Winners will be selected Monday, December 14th!

The participating businesses and community partners will have model train displays set up, with some fun giveaways and activities! During the event, you can pick up a map from the informational booth or any participating business. Maps will also be available on our website, Facebook, and Instagram the day of the event. Start your train hop journey at any of the participating stops, and catch the free shuttle to Maple Street Park for the festive lighted trees, hot chocolate, and horse-drawn sleigh rides!
