Torino Trolley Festival (1 december 2024) – Event program
ATTS, together with GTT, is organizing the eighteenth edition of the Torino Trolley Festival, held on Sunday December 1st, 2024, from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. The main aim of this festival, consistent with the mission of ATTS itself, is to promote the tramway as a part of the historical and cultural heritage belonging to all the citizens, by exposing and using historical vehicles. This event will be entirely based on the contribution of ATTS’s operational volunteers, who will make themselves available to guide the tours, to operate the tramcars, to give technical assistance and to welcome the visitors. This year’s edition will take place in Piazza Statuto instead of Piazza Castello, as the central area of the city will be affected by the Turin’s Marathon and by vast roadworks. We are planning to use the pedestrian area by the Frejus Tunnel monument: there, a gazebo will be installed and used for exposing and distributing informative material about the projects, the events and the vehicles of ATTS.
In the morning, between 10:00 A.M. and 11:30 A.M., five historical tramcars from different Italian cities (Turin, Rome, Bologna and Trieste) will be available for a special tour from Piazza Statuto to Piazza Bernini and back with no intermediate stops.
At 11.30 A.M., a parade of 12 historical tramcars will leave Piazza Statuto and will return there by 12,30.
In the afternoon, between 2:30 P.M. and 6:00 P.M., five historical tramcars from Turin will be available for a special tour through the city centre, from and to Piazza Statuto with no intermediate stops.
Reservations are not required. Admission on board is free, but a donation is recommended as a contribution to the restoration of further historical tramcars.
