Holiday Lights at Olde Mistick Village

‘Tis the season!

December is one of my favorite months when all towns gets into the holidays festive mood! I love walking around to see garlands, wreaths, trees, ornaments and all the decor. It is different this year without our usual events. The season typically kicks off with the annual holiday boat lights parade that happens the weekend following Thanksgiving. This year it was the lights show at Olde Mistick Village!

Olde Mistick Village (as previously blogged about here) is having their holiday lights spectacular show. The lights have already been lit since the week of Thanksgiving and will remain on until January. According to their website, it is the largest lights display in southern the New England region with over half a million lights! It is decorated throughout the village, which is very walk-able and perfect for social distancing activities. Come see the Christmas wonderland!

Shops are also open later for holiday shopping if you haven’t finished your shopping! Please consider shopping small to help businesses to keep thriving in our community through this difficult time. I’ve listed my recommendations in the previous blog (linked in last paragraph). The shops are opened until 8pm, with exception of the weekends (9pm Friday & Saturday and 6pm on Sunday).

To add to the festivities at Olde Mistick Village, Jealous Monk brought out some igloos in their beer gardens! It can fit 4-8 people. Reservations are strongly encouraged as they only have a few time slots per day (to allow cleaning in between uses). Email: Brittany@jealous-monk.com
