New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
We’re thrilled to announce that Seastreak will be sailing between Nantucket and New Bedford from 11/30-12/3 for the world famous Nantucket Christmas Stroll!
Enjoy hundreds of decorated seven-foot Christmas trees that line downtown streets, carolers in costume singing familiar holiday tunes at various locations, craft shows, tours, and so much more!
Originally starting in 1973, the weekend was meant to keep shoppers on the island to encourage them to buy holiday gifts from locals. Today the weekend is one not to miss!
On Stroll Weekend Main Street will be closed to vehicles to allow for a variety of holiday events. Stores will be open for the weekend offering refreshments as shoppers browse the special discounts.
Other main events of Christmas stroll include the Festival of Trees in the Whaling Museum as well as meeting Santa and Mrs. Clause as they arrive off the Coast Guard Cutter.
