Annual Christmas Tree Lighting and Community Caroling
Friday, November 24th we kick off our Annual Tree Lighting & Community Caroling Ceremony presented by Stop & Shop. Enjoy the beauty of Nantucket as we prepare for this one-of-a-kind holiday season. Over 150 trees will magically come alive in a blaze of light. The Annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony & Community Caroling will be Nov. 24, 2023. Main Street will be closed from 2-6pm.
Now in its 49th year, the island’s world-renowned signature event lovingly dubbed “Stroll” takes place the weekend of December 1st to December 3rd, featuring the eagerly anticipated arrival of Santa via his nautical “sleigh” at noon on Saturday. A host of holiday activities, including strolling carolers in Victorian garb, the Magical Talking Tree, craft shows, a European-style Christmas Marketplace and more ensure fun for the entire family.
The Chamber's 49th Annual Nantucket Stroll Weekend will be December 1st - December 3rd, 2023. Santa's Arrival, Entertainment & Shop Santa's Village Nantucket details can be found HERE.
