Christmas HOMETOWN

On the second Thursday in December, Andover Central Park, and surrounding establishments, become a winter wonderland. The evening starts with a tree lighting ceremony and the arrival of Santa Claus, with a variety of other fun activities through the night. Newly added as of 2020, is a holiday light contest open to any businesses or homes in Andover. Andover Sharing and Caring benefits from this event each year with donations of toys, staple/canned goods, and cash donations from Andover citizens. Caring and Sharing is a non-profit organization that provides resources to families in the area. This celebration is fantastic for young families that are wanting to make memories, and helps others in need. This year’s celebration will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2023.
