Free holiday trolley rides, sponsored by local chambers and community groups, will be offered from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, in the Six Corners, Old Irving Park, Portage Park and Jefferson Park business districts.

In addition, there will be a separate trolley for each of the following streets: Milwaukee, Irving Park and Lawrence.
Riders are encouraged to review maps of the routes and locations of the stops at www.sixcorners.com prior to the event.
One of the stops will be near Portage Park, 4100 N. Long Ave., where there will be a craft fair and pictures with Santa in the fieldhouse from 1 to 5 p.m., followed be a tree lighting at 5:30 p.m. on the playground.
There also will be activities at Weston’s Coffee and Tap, 4872 N. Milwaukee Ave., which will be offering beverages for adults and free hot chocolate for children.
Next to Weston’s is the decorative “people spot” alley, where pictures with Santa, including a holiday backdrop for family portraits, will be available from 4 to 6 p.m. and caroling, including students from the Chicago Music and Acting Academy singing at 4:30 p.m.
There also will be from 3 to 6 p.m. pop-up vendors and free gift wrapping and hot chocolate at the Portage Park Chamber of Commerce’s new office at 4946 W. Irving Park Road.
