Nantucket Noel truly is the most wonderful time of the year on our island 30 miles out to sea. The joy of the holidays on Nantucket encompasses this magical time on island. From our community Tree Lighting Ceremony and Annual Christmas Stroll, to the Red Ticket Drawing and more, we do the holidays right!
2023 Christmas Stroll Program
Presenting Sponsor of Nantucket Noel
The Chamber's 49th Nantucket Stroll Weekend will be December 1st - December 3rd, 2023.
Santa's Arrival, Free Live Entertainment, and the Christmas Stroll Marketplace details can be found HERE.
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 guarantee fun for the entire family.
Please note that two rows in the downtown Stop & Shop parking lot will be closed from the afternoon of December 1st to the evening of December 3rd. The Stroll Marketplace will be open Saturday, December 2nd, 10am-3pm.
