GRAFTON – Grafton Celebrates the Holidays returns for its 29th year on Sunday, Dec. 8, with more than 30 businesses, churches and organizations as “Frosty Stops,” a craft and vendor fair and other holiday happenings.
Look for the “Frosty Stop” snow bear logo at participating locations.
Many stops are perennial favorites such the Polar Express Trackless Train Rides at UniBank; photos with Santa at Homefield Credit Union; and the craft and vendor fair.
Many other stops return year after year including Bushel ‘n Peck serving up complimentary chicken noodle soup, and Perreault Nurseries with a grab and go craft for the kids and all your decorating needs for the holidays.
Others are new this year such as a “snowball fight” on the Common, sponsored by CSR Financial.
New this year is that the craft fair will be expanding and moving to the Grafton High School gymnasium. There will be almost 100 craft fair vendors, making it one of the biggest craft and vendor fairs in the area. The craft fair will run 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at 24 Providence Road.
Enjoy products like jewelry, ornaments, wood crafts and so much more.
Special holiday performances will also be taking place at the Unitarian Universalist Society, and it will be doing an artisan and jewelry sale. At Apple Tree Arts from 2 to 3:30 p.m., there will be holiday tunes played by a small chamber ensemble.
Head to the Common at 4 p.m. to join the Grafton Girl Scouts in singing winter songs, with a symbolic lighting of Grafton’s first community menorah to follow. Then as always, Santa will be making his arrival on the Common at 4:30 p.m., followed by the lighting of the common. The lighting of the Common this year is sponsored by Grafton Recreation and CSR Financial Services.
