Daylight Stroll

Daylight Stroll Sunday, December 14, 2025, 2-4 PM Enjoy all the same holiday magic as Strawbery Banke's Candlelight Stroll, now in a special daytime session! Beautifully decorated historic houses, costumed roleplayers, festive performances, and traditional demonstrations come alive in the glow of a mid-December afternoon This special daylight session is suitable for young families, early risers, and anyone who prefers celebrating in the light—or avoiding driving in the dark—while still enjoying the season’s enchantment. About Candlelight Stroll: Candlelight Stroll invites visitors to step into the past and experience 350+ years of seasonal and holiday traditions in the Puddle Dock neighborhood. The Museum’s furnished historic houses are adorned with handmade decorations created from greens and dried flowers from the Museum’s heirloom gardens. Visitors call upon the many families who once lived in the waterfront neighborhood – portrayed by costumed roleplayers – who share stories, customs, and seasonal traditions. While traveling from house to historic house, the glow of hundreds of candle lanterns and string lights illuminate the way as guests enjoy seasonal greetings from wandering musicians and performers who recreate the traditions of times past. Additionally enjoy hot apple cider, a warming bonfire, and Ice Dance International’s Currier and Ives Vintage Christmas Skaters for several performances each night of this treasured event. Performances by the Vintage Christmas Skaters are weather-dependent. A Note on Parking: Parking is unavailable on-site, as it is reserved for handicapped accessibility on a first-come, first-served basis; please refer to the FAQ section on the event page of Strawbery Banke's website for more information.
