Residents around the Route 1 corridor will be out to celebrate the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail on Saturday, June 8.

The third-annual Trolley Trail Day will feature live music and activities from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. stretching from Hyattsville all the way up to College Park.

Activities include a morning fun run led by RunnersHy starting at Vigilante Coffee in Hyattsville, three separate bike rides sponsored by Route 1 bike companies, live music at a Porchfest front yard, and family-friendly activities at parks along the Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail.

Most activities will run from noon to 4 p.m., but there will be a Night at the Museum rock concert featuring College Park band Laundry World and the College Park Chorale at the College Park Aviation Museum from 5 to 8 p.m.

With the completion earlier this year of a long-missing segment, the Trolley Trail now extends from Melrose Park in Hyattsville 3.8 miles north to Greenbelt Road in Berwyn Heights and connects to the Northwest Branch Trail, Northeast Branch Trail, Anacostia River Trail and Paint Branch Trail.

You can see a complete listing of events on the Trolley Trail Day website.
