The Fox River Ragtime Festival will run on Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23 from 11 am to 5 pm.
Tickets are good for unlimited rides on the day of the ticket, with music being played all day long. Seats on the train are on a first-come first-serve basis.
Historic Trolley Rides
Experience the thrill of riding early-20th century electric interurban and trolley cars over a two-mile stretch of historic interurban mainline dating back to 1896! Whether you choose to ride the trolley just for fun or a park-and-ride shuttle between the parking lots for this festival, our restored historic trolleys are sure to wow.
