MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Summerfest is just nine days away and we learned that The Hop streetcar will bring back its "Festivals Line" service this year. 

This is something they started last year, a combination of The Hop's M-Line and L-Line routes. Every streetcar will make all the stops during the run of Summerfest to improve access to Henry Maier Festival Park. 

The Hop rides are free, and they will run until 1 a.m. during the nine nights of Summerfest. 

The Big Gig opens Thursday, June 19.
