GENEROUS SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS BRING CHRISTMAS IN ROCKPORT TO LIFE

2014 marks the 30th consecutive year of Christmas in Rockport, our month-long celebration offering a unique blend of the old and the new. Traditional programs include Santa’s arrival by lobster boat and the Dock Square tree lighting (December 6), the Seaside Village Open House and Gallery Stroll Weekend (December 13-14), the 69th annual Christmas Pageant (December 20), and Santa’s return to Dock Square on Christmas morning. This year’s festivities feature the fourth annual ‘Seashells & Jingle Bells’ Inn and Home Kitchen Tour on December 7 and the return of Horse-Drawn Hayrides, presented by Cape Ann Savings Bank, on December 13.

The programs will conclude on December 31 with New Year’s Rockport Eve, celebrating its 18th anniversary. Sites throughout downtown Rockport will host children’s activities (clowns, puppets, magic, story tellers, etc.), and music for all tastes (classical, jazz, rock ‘n roll, country and western, folk, blues, songs of the sea, etc.). Join us in Dock Square for a midnight celebration to welcome 2015. Buttons will be on sale in advance at many Rockport and Gloucester businesses and on December 31. For further information and a full schedule of events, check the New Year’s Rockport Eve website: newyearsrockporteve.com or call 978-546-9038.
