Nashua’s official kick-off to the holiday season has been held the Saturday evening following Thanksgiving for the last 15 years.
Each year, close to 30,000 people from across New England participate in the tradition that starts off with a candlelit walk from City Hall to Library Hill where the City's tree is lit for the first time.
Much of the downtown is closed to traffic for the evening, allowing Strollers to wander to different artistic and cultural performances, sample offerings from street vendors, dine in downtown’s fine restaurants and do holiday shopping at our unique specialty shops and boutiques.
Spirit of Giving-
In keeping with the holiday spirit, the Winter Holiday Stroll also features a collection at City Hall where strollers can drop off items such as canned goods, disposable diapers and new, unwrapped toys for local charitable organizations.
Brought to you by -
The Winter Holiday Stroll is a signature event produced by Great American Downtown and the 2008 Winter Holiday Stroll Committee comprised of some of the best volunteers around.
This event is free for all to enjoy thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. We take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to those sponsors who make this favorite downtown tradition possible.
The second longest-running food and beverage event in New Hampshire!
Held the first Wednesday in June, Taste of Downtown provides a unique opportunity to sample the culinary offerings of downtown’s fine restaurants. Once a year, local chefs leave their kitchens behind and serve food in downtown retail and commercial spaces. As you stroll through downtown you can enjoy live entertainment from local musicians at each of the venue sites. The evening concludes with desserts, when guests taste decadent offerings from our bakeries and chocolatier!
