Nantucket Christmas Stroll
Christmas Stroll December 4 - 6, 2026
Countdown to Stroll
The island’s world-renowned signature event lovingly dubbed “Stroll” takes place the weekend of December 4th to December 6th, featuring the eagerly anticipated arrival of Santa via his nautical “sleigh” at noon on Saturday. A host of holiday activities, including roaming carolers in Victorian garb, the Magical Talking Tree, craft shows, a European-style Christmas Marketplace, and more guarantee fun for the entire family. Join us as we transform the island into a Winter Wonderland and create delightful memories at this year's Christmas Stroll, December 4th through 6th, 2026.
Please note that two rows in the downtown Stop & Shop parking lot will be closed from the afternoon of December 4th to the evening of December 5th. The Stroll Marketplace will be open Saturday, December 5th, 10am-3pm.
