The Carmel Holiday Trolley is a free, decorated hop-on, hop-off trolley that links holiday shoppers with the Arts & Design District, Carmel City Center, the Indiana Design Center, Civic Square and the Christkindlmarkt. Riders receive free gifts along the way while supporting local merchants.
The trolley makes seven stops: the Indiana Design Center; First and Main; the Christkindlmarkt north entrance; Main Street and Monon Boulevard; Carmel City Center at InCycle Plaza; Elm Street and Monon Boulevard; and Civic Square. An online tracker shows where the trolley is. No ADA-accessible trolley is available this season, but the Christkindlmarkt shuttles are ADA accessible. For more information, call 317-571-2787.
