The Grandview Hop takes place as an open-street event all along Grandview Avenue between W First Ave and W Fifth Ave creating a HALF-MILE LONG PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE!

There is no entry fee! The Grandview Hop is free to attend and all are welcome!

IS THE GRANDVIEW HOP DOG-FRIENDLY?

Yes, The Grandview Hop is very dog friendly. In fact all leashed and friendly pets are welcome! Each month, we do ask that you keep in mind how hot the streets/sidewalks can get during the summer months! Before you leave the house, put your hand on asphalt that's in the direct sun. If it's too warm on your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

WHERE CAN I PARK?

There are several free and paid parking lots within close proximity of the Hop, including St. Christopher’s Church (1420 Grandview Ave), First Merchants Bank (1460 Grandview Ave), surface lots at 1369 Grandview Ave, Bank Block (1289 Grandview Ave), PNC Bank (1530 W 1st Ave), the surface lot at 1500 W Third Ave, and more. We encourage COTA bus and rideshare options (Lyft, Uber, CoGo), and for those who are able, you can easily walk, bike, or carpool to the Hop too!
