Christmas, Hanukkah Events In Falmouth: Holiday By The Sea 2022

FALMOUTH, MA — There is no shortage of things to do in Falmouth to get the winter holiday season off to a rollicking good start.

Christmas and Hanukkah, the eight-day Jewish festival of lights, intersect this year, with Hanukkah running Dec. 18-26. Christmas, of course, is on Dec. 25, but you don’t have to wait to start taking in all the sights and sounds of the holidays.

Tree and menorah lightings in Falmouth include the lighting of the Village Green, scheduled for Saturday from 6 to 7 p.m.

This comes as part of the annual Holidays By The Sea event series in Falmouth.

Daily events include Christmas caroling, the aforementioned tree lighting and even a "Jingle Jog". Find more information on the events here.

Christmas parades — often complete with Santa Claus, festively decorated floats and marching bands — are a holiday tradition, both nationally and locally.

Several big parades are taking place this year, including the Mayor’s Annual Christmas Parade in Baltimore City, Maryland; the Target Holidazzle Parade in Minneapolis; and the Christmas Boat Parade in Newport Beach, California.

Holiday lighting displays are another holiday favorite. One to catch in Massachusetts is the Gillette Stadium 'Magic Of Lights' display.
