WHAT IS THE GRANDVIEW HOP AND WHERE IS IT HELD?

The Grandview Hop is a large, family-friendly open-air night market along Grandview Avenue, featuring more than 180 independent local vendors each month selling merchandise, art, and food and featuring small-scale entertainment for all ages. The Grandview Hop takes place all along Grandview Ave between 1st and 5th Avenues. We close down Grandview Avenue between 1st and 3rd Avenues for our community Night Market - and also offer several Pop-up Parks for additional food, shopping, and entertainment on the lawn at St. Christopher’s Parish (1420 Grandview Ave, 43212) and the parking lot at Grandview Center (1417 Grandview Ave, 43212) - so you can walk in and out of the shops & restaurants as well as along sidewalks to explore it all.

IS THERE AN ENTRY FEE?

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! But 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 Parish (1420 Grandview Ave), First Merchants Bank (1460 Grandview Ave), Figlio/VinoVino lot (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!
