Candlelight Stroll, an annual holiday tradition at Strawbery Banke since 1979; showcases 350 years of seasonal and holiday traditions against the backdrop of the Museum’s furnished historic houses. On these weekend evenings, the Museum grounds glow with hundreds of lighted candle lanterns, the houses are adorned with thousands of handmade decorations crafted from live greens and dried flowers and herbs collected from the Museum gardens, and the air is filled with the sound of holiday music and scent of woodsmoke from the bonfire.

Manchester’s Parks and Recreation Department has released the fall dates for 2018’s “Walk for your Health” program. This walking group is open to people of all ages who want to get out in the fresh air, exercise and meet new friends!

You’ll be saying “Humbug” too if you miss Scrooge and Tiny Tim in this holiday classic.

Don’t miss this holiday tradition with the Southern New Hampshire Dance Theater, accompanied by a live orchestra led by Grammy Award-winning conductor, John McLaughlin Williams!

Elf the Musical is a hilarious tale of Buddy, a young orphan child who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bags of gifts and is transported back to the North Pole. Unaware that is actually human, Buddy’s enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his true identity and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. This holiday story is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf.

The beloved TV classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer soars off the screen and onto the stage this holiday season. Featuring all your favorite characters including Santa and Mrs. Claus, Hermey the Elf, the Abominable Snow Monster, Clarice, Yukon Cornelius and, of course, Rudolph himself, the production teaches us what makes you different can be what makes you special.
