Sponsorship Opportunities


Come join our team, as a sponsor or as a volunteer!  Are you good at decorating?  We've got a deal for you . . . 

There are still sponsorship opportunities available for this event.  Lowcountry Women's Specialists is our fabulous "Tree Topper" sponsor, generously sponsoring all of the trolleys for the event.  But we do need some additional partners for smaller commitments.  Do you own a business, or do you know someone who does?  We have fantastic opportunities for advertising through this event for as little as $75 (plus a little creativity and elbow grease).  

"Light Up a Home" sponsors can put their creativity to work and decorate one of the homes on the tour!  In exchange, your business' name will be on a sign in front of the home on the night of the tours, you will be mentioned on our social media outlets and in the newspaper, and you can include an item in the passengers' goody bags, such as a business card, brochure, ball point pen, or other small item of your choice.

If your business would like to "Light Up a Home" or is interested in other opportunities, please call Summerville DREAM at 821-7260 or email the event chair at trolleyvolunteers@gmail.com .

We need your help to make this a fantastic event!

New tour tomorrow! Box lunch included!


We are so fortunate to have Barbara Hill, local historian, among our trolley guides.  Her wealth of knowledge and delightful demeanor make her tours a joy.  Tomorrow at 1pm, we will run her inaugural "Summerville Saturdays" tour, which will depart from the Summerville Dorchester Museum and last approximately 2 hours.  

She may vary the destination in the future, but tomorrow's tour will include a trip to historic Colonial Fort Dorchester, where Summerville's first colonial settlement was located.  "Swamp Fox" Francis Marion once commanded the post there.  Parts of the tabby fort walls, the cemetery, and the bell tower from the old church are still there today, and Park Manager Ashley Chapman will be on hand to share some fascinating facts about the park and the settlement.

A box lunch from a local deli is included in your tour!  Don't delay . . . click here or call Summerville Dream to get your tickets!

UPDATE 10/17 4pm: This tour is no longer available for tomorrow, but you can still get seats on the 4pm #DrinkTheVille tour!
