Welcome to the 45th Annual Christmas Stroll

T

his year’s Stroll, presented by The Steamship Authority, is truly special. Paying tribute to our beloved Fred Rogers, of Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood fame, the Nantucket Chamber has branded the 45th Annual Nantucket Stroll It’s a Beautiful Stroll in the Neighborhood, harking back to the simple but powerful song Fred Rogers sang at every show’s start. Mr. Rogers was Nantucket’s neighbor, too, whose “Crooked House” in Madaket was his summer home for decades.

Christmas Stroll is always a Beautiful Stroll in the Neighborhood.

From its over 100 illuminated holiday trees, wreaths, holly and gorgeous shop windows — each decorated to Christmas perfection — to Christmas carols and music lilting through the air, a special magic beckons visitors. Islanders gather and see friends and colleagues to celebrate the season.

The island, especially during Stroll, inspires and imbues peace, love of neighbor and community, good will to those on Nantucket and around the world. Nantucket welcomes you in peace and love to its “Neighborhood.”
