Last week I wrote about the different Christmas activities on the Cape. One of the most famous Christmas strolls which attracts thousands of visitors from around the world is the "Nantucket Noel and Christmas Stroll". It started 34 years ago as a small island festival down Nantucket's cobblestone Main Street and has blossomed into an island wide, month long celebration. In the words of Lawrel Strauch of the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce, "It's all about warm, cozy fireplaces, caroling under the stars, warm cider and all of the holiday traditions that many folks really enjoy". Sounds like a perfect way to get away from the shopping frenzy and commercialism of Christmas for a feel of a small town Christmas.
Streets are lined with over 144 lit Christmas trees, and in addition to the traditional carolers, local musicians also perform, including a cappella groups and a blues band or two. While this tradition is now a month long, the "Annual Nantucket Christmas Stroll Weekend" is this weekend from November 30th to December 2nd. If you'd prefer to avoid the crowds you can visit Nantucket midweek.
The Tidewater is only 5 minutes to the ferry for Nantucket. Our heated pool and hot tub are a welcome relief after a day of festivities and our 50's style diner is open on Saturdays and Sundays for an hearty breakfast. We are offering a special rate of $59.99 for the weekend. By the way, today is sunny and a balmy 60 degrees! Hope to see you this weekend.
