Welcome the Winter Months in Central Massachusetts

Bullard Tavern in Old Sturbridge Village

As the holiday season and cold weather approach, it’s a great time to cozy up at one of the Fireplace Feasts at Salem Cross Inn, held throughout the winter months, or attend the 20^th Annual Starlight Santa opening at Vaillancourt Folk Art, November 6-8. 

Savor the season’s best at Wachusett Mountain's Autumn Wine Celebration on November 7, and be enchanted by Old Sturbridge Village's Evening of Illumination on November 14.  At the month’s end, save time to give thanks and celebrate at one of the many Thanksgiving events across the Central Mass region.  

Sample holiday favorites, meet Santa, and go on a sleigh ride during the Twelve Nights of Christmas featuring Christmas by Candlelight at OSV from December 3-20, or see the Chain of Lights celebration from December 5-6 in Sutton, Grafton, Millbury, Douglas and Uxbridge. 

Don’t miss Holly Days at Tower Hill from November 27- January 3, and attend the Holly Days Party on December 4, attend the Holiday Festival at Asa Waters Mansion on December 6, and relive Christmas Memories at Salem Cross Inn every weekend, December 6-21.  Listen to holiday music at the MA Symphony Orchestra Holiday Pops Concert at Mechanics Hall on December 12, and see the classic A Christmas Carol at Hanover Theatre December 18-20. 

With food, family, music, fun, and more, you’ll truly see there is so much, so close right here in Central MA throughout the holiday season
