Christmas by the Sea, Chatham

Chatham is one of the most picturesque towns on the Cape and only a twenty minute drive from the Tidewater. This weekend they also have a Christmas festival which is the 30th annual "Christmas by the Sea". Friday, Dec 5 at 4:30PM, Main Street will be brimming with locals and visitors for the annual tree trimming at Sears Park. Town officials will be flipping on the lights, but children decorate the tree with homemade ornaments. Bell ringers and hayrides from 4 to 7PM will set the mood.

The festivities continue on Saturday with more hay rides and people strolling down Main Street and into the shops for shopping specials and refreshments. Santa arrives on Sunday at 1:30PM at Fish Pier and then to the Community Center where he listens to children while The Chatham Town Band plays. The festivities continue the following weekend with all the stores staying open late for the stroll and offering cookies and hot drinks. Dec 13th is the 12th annual historic inn tour, featuring 10 inns decked out in all their holiday finery.

As I said, Chatham is only a short drive from the Tidewater and we continue to offer our weekend special price of $59.99 per night for Friday and Saturday and $49.99 for Sunday - Thursday. Come to the Cape where you can relax and enjoy small town Christmas traditions.
