The holidays can be quite a magical time of year around the Bay State. Between the epic Christmas light displays, festive small towns, and Christmas-themed stores, there’s plenty of holiday cheer to be had this season. And if you’re looking for some fun, there’s a wonderful holiday festival in Massachusetts you must add to your list: the annual Nantucket Holiday Stroll!
The quaint island of Nantucket is quite a festive place to be during the holiday season. And this year marks the island’s 48th Annual Christmas Stroll.

During the festival, visitors should first stop by the Chamber of Commerce on Main Street or at the table in Santa’s Village to pick up a Christmas Stroll program guide.
