It’s the most wonderful time of the year – twinkling lights, fragrant wintergreens, beautiful bows, and a most amazing Christmas tree on historic Bowen’s Wharf.
Come early for leisurely holiday shopping and stay through the evening for a magical day of festive fun and good cheer! Festivities begin with an afternoon full of joyous performances from local musicians and choruses. The enormous tree is lit promptly at 6:00 – the official beginning of the holiday season at Bowen’s Wharf! Santa motors into Bowen’s Basin by boat (weather permitting) eager to listen to every child’s wish.
Bowen’s Wharf restaurants remain open for holiday meals and many shops offer sweet refreshments. FREE ADMISSION! Join us for a magical day of festive fun and good cheer!
