Bullard Tavern in Old Sturbridge Village

As the holiday season and cold weather approach, it’s a great time to cozy up and savor the season’s best at Wachusett Mountain's Ski Area or be enchanted by one of Old Sturbridge Village's fantastic evening programs including “Evening of Illumination” where the whole village is candlelit.  At the month’s end, save time to give thanks and celebrate at one of the many Thanksgiving events across the Central Mass region at restaurants, inns and orchards.  Or take part in an interactive Fireplace Feasts at Salem Cross Inn, W. Brookfield, MA held throughout the winter months

Sample holiday favorites, meet Santa or enjoy one of the annual Chain of Lights celebrations that are popular in Central MA. 

The Annual Chain of Lights in Sutton, Grafton, Millbury, Douglas and Uxbridge in the Blackstone Valley is popular and be sure to visit the Christmas museum and retail shop at Vaillancourt Folk Art in Sutton, MA while there.
