Letter from theChamber
Welcome to Nantucket for our 49th annual Stroll Weekend! The island’s natural beauty will be mirrored by the sights and sounds of the Holiday season as we celebrate with our theme of “Sleigh Bells and Seashells.” We encourage you to explore the shops, restaurants, and events around the entire island as you reconnect with the people — old friends and new — that truly make Nantucket special. Nantucket’s holiday magic is our collective responsibility, and we are counting on everyone to help us keep Nantucket beautiful for years to come. Be patient during this busy weekend, recycle any trash, and spread the holiday cheer with us! On behalf of the entrepreneurs who make up our diverse business community, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes you to the 49th Annual Stroll Weekend.
