Letter from the Chamber
Welcome to the 50th Nantucket Christmas Stroll Weekend! The beauty of Nantucket is on full display as we celebrate “50 Years of Holiday Cheer!”
Stroll began as an agreement between merchants to stay open late on an agreed December weekend, allowing local community members to shop after work instead of traveling to the mainland. Over the years, it has evolved and grown, and now includes Santa’s arrival by Coast Guard vessel, the holiday marketplace, and so much more. We encourage you to embrace the old and the new, and explore all that the island has to offer. Take in some world class shopping and dining, walk the serene beaches and conservation lands, or relax at one of our many hotels or inns, steeped in coastal New England charm. Nantucket is the idyllic backdrop for your holiday weekend!
Stroll is the perfect time to reconnect with friends and family too, and we want to continue the tradition for another 50 years to come. Be mindful of your actions, recycle your trash, and be patient during this busy weekend. We remind you that open containers are prohibited in public, and use a cab, rideshare, or hop a fare-free NRTA bus and leave the driving to the pros.
On behalf of the entrepreneurs who make up our diverse business community, the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes you to the Stroll 50 Weekend!
