A Trolley Ride With a Kick!
When? 5 p.m. Sunday (July 28)
Where? Water Street (board the trolley there, behind Dylan's Wine Cellar in the commuter parking lot)
Why go? This event is not a single activity, but three-in-one: a historic trolley ride, wine tasting and a concert at West Point. Organizers say it "really is a midsummer night's dream." Cost is $25 per person.
