Holiday Stroll coming to downtown Northampton Friday!


It’s the Northampton Holiday Stroll this Friday and it’s going to be EPIC! We’re closing Main Street from the Academy down to Local Burgers and Fries and filling it with family-friendly activities: music from acapella groups to a Hits 94.3 live DJ; food and drink from local cafes and restaurants; hay rides, face painting, a photo booth; giant puppets and other street entertainers; select vendors, specials at local shops; a fire truck and police cruiser for your children to explore – and rumor has it that even Santa Claus may make an appearance! But wait…there’s more!

There’s campfires and smores in the street; singing on the corners, and a beer garden too. This Friday from 5-8pm. Plus it’s Arts Night Out! Plenty of parking in the city lots and the garage. Come down and stroll Main street like you’ve never strolled before. Shops and restaurants open too. Get all the details right here.
