Grandview Avenue will shut down between First and Third avenues at 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, for the fourth and final Grandview Hop of the 20th anniversary season.
The night market and community stroll runs from 5 to 9 p.m. along Grandview Avenue, extending up to Fifth Avenue, according to the city's traffic advisory. The road will stay closed until after the event ends at 9 p.m.
Residents who want to skip the parking search can ride a free shuttle bus between Grandview Yard at 960 Bobcat Ave. and a stop near 1359 Grandview Ave. The bus runs from 4 to 10 p.m., starting an hour before the Hop and continuing an hour after it wraps so riders can get back to their cars.
The shuttle is free.
One school bus will loop the route roughly every 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic and boarding times, the city said. Riders can find the boarding spots by looking for 12-foot shuttle flags and sandwich-board signs at each location.
The Columbus Young Professionals Club's community arm, CYP Club Cares, and Grandview Yard are sponsoring the shuttle. The service launched for the July 25 Hop to reduce parking congestion on Grandview Avenue and surrounding neighborhood streets, and it has continued at each event since.
The Grandview Hop is a summertime night market led by the Columbus Young Professionals Club and the City of Grandview Heights. The 2026 season marked the event's 20th anniversary, with four Saturday dates: June 27, July 25, Aug. 29 and Sept. 26.
Sept. 26 is the last of those four dates. Riders heading to the Hop can park free at Grandview Yard and board the shuttle starting at 4 p.m.
