Dancers, singers and comics will soon be entertaining guests riding the ParkHillcrest Trolley on Fridays, starting Oct. 30.
The trolley is sponsored by Access Hillcrest, formerly known as Park Hillcrest, and is a service of the Uptown Community Parking District. UCPD offers free shuttle services in Hillcrest to assist patrons with parking issues.

The trolley operates on Friday and Saturday nights — taking those who either park for free at the DMV parking lot on Normal Street or choose to valet their car at the parking garage on Fifth Avenue — up and down University Avenue between Fifth Avenue and Normal, at no cost.
But Friday nights are going to be special. “Fab Friday” trolley rides will offer live music, comedy, improvisational dance teams and other local artists to entertain riders. Pacific San Diego magazine representatives will be on board offering discounts and promotional items for local businesses. You may even find a few special performances along the trolley route at various locations when you hop off.
“We want residents in Hillcrest, as well as adjacent neighborhoods like Downtown, North Park and Normal Heights, to know that it’s easy to ‘Access Hillcrest,’” said Elizabeth Hannon, chief operating officer of the Uptown Community Parking District.

Hannon added that they not only want to highlight the free parking at the DMV lot, but to also show how easy and reliable it is to get on and off the trolley. “We wanted to make it super fun to boot!” she said.
