On Tuesday, December 16th at 6:00 PM, Journey’s End will again take place in Historic Downtown Bristol! Journey’s End is Bristol’s local interpretation of the Latino tradition of Las Posadas (The Inns). Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem is recreated as they go from inn to inn seeking lodging and the final inn welcomes them in and celebrates their arrival.How does Bristol Celebrate Journey’s End?
Our inns are several downtown businesses and our innkeepers are various choirs and choral groups from the Bristol area. We will begin at the Downtown Center then process by candlelight with Mary and Joseph singing the traditional songs and various carols accompanied by instrumentalists.
Along the way choirs at each "inn" will greet Joseph and Mary who will be escorted by Dreamland Alpacas (Please, no dogs in attendance as we do not want to scare the live animals).
Afterwards a small reception will be held at Paramount Bristol with refreshments provided by Metz Culinary Management and Bristol Bagel & Bakery. There will be no street closure for this event, and event participants are to remain on the sidewalk for the duration of the event.
Journey’s End lasts a little more than an hour. Restaurants will be taking dinner reservations and several of the downtown shops will be open. Come and celebrate Christmas in the heart of our community!
