Event Series: 2025 Milwaukee Downtown Events & Activities

We’ll be celebrating Hop Summer Nights with a special event onboard The Hop on Sunday, Aug. 10, from 4-6 p.m. Local favorite Pete’s Pops will once again bring their refreshing “hopsicles” to the party, available for free to all riders while supplies last, while local pianist JL Russell and his Smoothwalk jazz group will treat riders to cool live jazz.

Joining the Hop Summer Nights event is as simple as hopping on board. While there are two M-Line streetcars in service on Sundays, only one will be hosting Hop Summer Nights. To locate the correct streetcar, riders are encouraged to download the Transloc real-time app by visiting thehopmke.com/real-time-app. On Aug. 10, look for an alert in the app notifying riders which streetcar features the free popsicles and jazz, and then use the real-time position of the car to hop on board. Riders can also be on the lookout for Hop Summer Nights decals in the windows of the featured streetcar.
