Trolley Portal Gardens is celebrating the holidays. On Saturday, December 15, along with SEPTA, the University City Arts League and Trolley Car Station, there will be a festive day of fun.

From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., kids ages 4-16 can ride for free (with a paid adult) on a Holiday Trolley from 40th Street to Dilworth Park. SEPTA will also bring the First Place and People’s Choice winners of their Holiday Bus Decoration contest to Trolley Portal Gardens for visitors to explore and snap pictures. Trolley Car Station will offer $1 hot chocolates or $5 spiked hot chocolates for visitors 21 and older, plus grab-and-go treats.

Want to get crafty? From 2 to 4 p.m., the University City Arts League will help you make your own painted coasters, a fun and free project for all ages and skill levels.

On Friday, December 21, join local ensemble Relâche and UCD as they bring to life Phil Kline’s Unsilent Night to the streets of Spruce Hill. Participants will gather at 5:45 p.m. at the Trolley Portal Gardens (40th St and Baltimore Ave), and the procession will begin at 6 p.m. Dress warmly for the walk, and bring your portable speakers, your phone or even a full speaker system in a wagon, to help serenade the neighborhood. Stop by Trolley Car Station after for food and drink specials! To learn more, visit http://unsilentnight.com/participate
