  • Thursday, December 4 – Sunday, December 14 – Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude

    The annual Christmas Prelude (December 4 – December 14) will soon see the town decked out in twinkling lights and greenery, with a buoy-decked Christmas tree at its center – like a Hallmark Christmas movie come to life! See www.christmasprelude.com for full schedule details.

    The re-imagined Santa’s arrival by lobster boat is a traditional event that got bigger and better last year, with a move to the Nonantum Resort. It will be back at the inn this year. Also returning this year are the craft fairs Prelude is known for – the perfect places to find unique, hand-crafted gifts. Midweek merriment includes a Cookie Crawl, house tours of the beautifully decorated White Columns, a Merry Market at Maine Art Hill, cookie decorating, art classes and the return of the ever-popular Storybook Christmas for children.

  • Christmas Stroll Updates

    With community safety as its top priority, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce has postponed the 47th Annual Christmas Stroll until 2021. There will be no organized Christmas Stroll for 2020. In its place, Nantucket Noel, a shop local initiative, will run from 27 November through 31 December 2020, allowing Nantucket’s residents to safely enjoy the magic of the season virtually, while still supporting local businesses for their holiday shopping.

    Kennebunkport’s Christmas Prelude, December 3 – 13, will be primarily virtual, with tree lighting, caroling, Santa’s arrival, but the town will be decorated as always and there will be a special Outdoor Christmas Market. Updated 2020 Modified Schedule on the Official Kennebunkport Business Association Website

    Chatham’s Christmas by the Sea Stroll 2020 was scheduled to be held Friday, December 11 – Sunday, December 13. While Chatham is unable to host this year, they invite you to visit throughout the entire season. Smaller events, sales and promotions may be viewed at https://chathammerchants.com/christmasbythesea

    Other locations which traditionally host holiday strolls have either cancelled or have not yet announced plans, but I think we can safely assume most towns will be cautious. Tree lighting ceremonies in the Boston Parks are still on the calendar, but we will update as we learn more. Visit https://www.boston-discovery-guide.com/christmas-tree-lighting-ceremonies.html
