2018 New England Holiday Festivals


The holiday season is a magical time in New England. Streets, houses, boats, lighthouses, store fronts are lit and holiday cheer is in the air. One of the most unique things about New England are the holiday festivals, beginning after Thanksgiving (mostly) and continuing up until Christmas.
