Nashua’s Winter Holiday Stroll

Each year, over 30,000 people from across New England visit downtown Nashua to enjoy this FREE holiday event. The evening kicks off with a procession from City Hall to Railroad Square where the City’s official Christmas tree is lit. Much of the downtown is closed to traffic for the evening, allowing Strollers to enjoy the live entertainment, sample offerings from street vendors, dine in downtown’s fine restaurants and do holiday shopping at our unique specialty shops and boutiques.

The evening begins at 5pm at City Hall with the candlelight procession up Main Street and the lighting of the City’s tree at the Hunt Building. Afterwards, enjoy a visit with Santa and the many entertainment opportunities with musi…c offerings in styles from all over the globe, including big band jazz, country, bluegrass and indie rock, large choirs and small a cappella groups. You will also find dance and theater, magic, face painting, karate, stargazing, artists, makers, live ice sculpture carving, and new for 2015 Holiday Stroll Safari Bob’s Safari rides: animatronic ride on animals, including a moose, reindeer, siberian tiger and polar bear!

Stay tuned in the weeks ahead, as we will be announcing several new elements to this fun, exciting, free and family firendly tradition – as we prepare for our 22nd year! Save the date!
