Hyannis Village Christmas Stroll
Hyannis, MA – This year’s Hyannis Village Christmas Stroll sponsored by Rockland Trust will be Saturday, December 6th (with a rain-date on Sunday, December 7th). Activities will revolve around four major events on Main Street and the Waterfront.
At the JFK Hyannis Museum is the third annual “Spectacle of Trees” where 20 beautifully decorated Christmas trees will be raffled off with the proceeds going to support 12 local non-profits. Viewing and bidding will go on Thursday 10-4, Friday 10-8, and Saturday 10-7:30, until winners will be drawn on Saturday evening.
Saturday’s events kick off at 9:00 AM with the family favorite “Breakfast with Santa” at the British Beer Company. Tickets are available at The BBC, The JFK Museum and Quantum Communications for $6.00 each, and must be purchased in advance.
Throughout the day, the Main Street Community will host a variety of holiday events. Free activities up and down Main Street range from the Cookie Stroll Contest to bands playing, carolers caroling, and bells ringing, hayrides, a magic show, free children’s caricatures and holiday shopping specials; all sprinkled with hot cocoa and treats. There will be readings of “Polar Express”, Christmas journeys on The Cape Cod Railroad Train and a North Pole Post Office.
At 4PM everyone will gather at the harbor to enjoy the beautifully decorated boat parade. At 5:00 boats enter the harbor as harbor businesses and homes light up to welcome Santa. Watch the events from the warmth of The Cape Cod Maritime Museum or close-up from a Harbor Tour provided by Hy Line Cruises. At 5:40 Santa makes an appearance to meet with the children and is surrounded by a selection of lively activities.
