2024 Holiday Stroll Performance Schedule

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Per tradition, Santa will lead the Winter Holiday Stroll down Main Street – and join our Mayor in the big countdown to the lighting of the city Christmas tree.

Kids of all ages are always excited to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus, as they stop in for their annual visit to Downtown Nashua. When you go, be sure to stop by and say hello, and don’t forget to bring your Santa letter along to drop in the mailbox, to be delivered directly to the North Pole.

Afternoon Holiday Stroll Kid Friendly Activities 1-4pm Saturday Nov 30th.

Santa & Mrs. Clause Greet Kids @ Nashua Center for the Arts 1-4pm

We recognize that the littles may have an early bed time, and that a bigger event can be overstimulating for some. We’re excited to be hosting Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Nashua Center for the Arts. Bring your lists, your Christmas wishes, and your own camera to capture the moment with our visitors from the North Pole.

Berry Go Round Ride & Warming Station 1-4pm @ High Street

Stop by, just one block away, to take a ride on the Berry Go Round! This ride will operate from 1-4pm in the afternoon as well, located on a closed section of High Street, at Main. Say hello to our friends from Joyce Heating & Cooling, who are bringing out their pop up warming station, to add a bit of comfort to the queue.

During The Main Event

Santa & Mrs. Claus @ The Hunt Memorial Building

6-9pm Shortly After the City Christmas Tree Lighting
