Free Streetcar Rides

Celebrating the holiday season in the Queen City just became easier with free rides on the Cincinnati Bell Connector on Saturdays starting November 30 and running through December 21.

The Cincinnati Bell Connector will be free to ride from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. on: November 30, December 7, December 14, December 21

The free streetcar rides coincide with Downtown Dazzle at Fountain Square, where Santa repels off a downtown building and a Rozzi fireworks display fills the sky. Saturdays at the Square include skating at the UC Health Ice Rink, presented by Fifth Third Bank from 10 a.m. – 10 p.m., shopping during the Winter Market at Fountain Square and free photos with Santa at the Carew Tower.

The streetcar will conveniently take riders from Findlay Market for holiday shopping to Over-the-Rhine for lunch and browsing the boutiques – or a stop at Washington Park for Santa’s Workshop, and then to Fountain Square for ice skating, followed by a show or dinner at the Banks.

The Cincinnati Bell Connector streetcar is a 3.6-mile loop with 18 stations connecting major employment centers, arts, entertainment and businesses between The Banks, Downtown and Over-the-Rhine.

The free streetcar rides are made possible by Downtown Cincinnati Inc. (DCI) and 3CDC.
