Saturday, November 24^this the Annual Winter Stroll which attracts over 30,000 strollers from all over New Hampshire and beyond. The theme this year is Wintry Bliss.

The Stroll begins at 4:30p.m. and ends at 10:00p.m. Most of the streets in downtown Nashua will be closed to cars.

Santa and the Mayor will lead the candlelight stroll through downtown Nashua beginning at 5:00 p.m.

There will be live entertainment and you can shop at the wonderful boutiques. You can stop in one of the restaurants to get a bite to eat or if you are over 21, you may want to stop by the Amber Room.

The stroll is free - however, donations of canned food, diapers, unwrapped gifts and personal care items are welcomed and can be dropped off when you stroll past City Hall.

For more information about this stroll you can call 883-5700 or visit www.NashuaStroll.com. There are shuttle buses to Main Street located at various locations -- Holman Stadium, BAE on Canal Street and Rivier College.

This winter event was named the #1 community event by the 2006 Reader's Choice Awards in the Nashua Telegraph and the Hippo Press!

If you know of a winter festival in your area this Weekend, please feel free to leave a link in your comments.

See you there!

Sounds like a great time. I do think we have that in our area but I never went. I have a problem with the cold weather, especially when it is dark out. However, one day I will have to do it..Have some fun and forget about the cold, right? Happy Holidays

Barbara Jo and Bill It IS that time of year again. This is a magical event. With almost 30,000 people with candles and caroling -- it is just beautiful! It really brings back the true meaning and spirit of the holiday season! I find it the best event of the season. Maybe we can get you to visit New Hampshire --- Nah, I am sure you don't want to leave the sun in Florida -- Happy Thanksgiving.

Michelle: You have the right idea! Simply bundle up -- and enjoy the stroll. You can pop in and out of the shops and restaurants and warm up. I haven't check the weather forecast yet -- Perhaps in the case ignorance is bliss! Happy Thanksgiving.

George Have a wonderful Thanksgiving -- if you get bored, you can come and visit us in New Hampshire! I don't get many taking up that offer once it starts to snow here! I think there is no snow in the forecast for the weekend, so it should be a lot of fun!

Jay -- If you and Monika can get to the stroll, I am sure you will love it. It is a wonderful event and it really gets everyone in the holiday mood. I also love singing the X-mas carols -- lol - on the other hand, you may not want to be standing too close when I am singing!

Hi Joan,
We had our "Shopping by Candlelight" a few weekends ago and it was well attended and all the shops were beautifully decorated. What a great way to start the Christmas season. I hope this one in your area goes well.
