Marblehead 'Wishing Wall' Opens At Abbot Hall

MARBLEHEAD, MA —Residents are asked to share some of their hopes, dreams and wishes for the town at the new Wishing Wall located at Abbot Hall.

The Wishing Wall, which will open during the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce's 50th annual Marblehead Christmas Walk and Holiday Stroll, is a project designed to allow residents to express their aspirations for the community.

The Marblehead Cultural Council is funding the Wishing Wall — a product of the efforts of the Marblehead Chamber of Commerce Public Art Committee, the Board of Selectmen and Marblehead High School through the hard work of the teachers and students of the school's woodshop program.

This year's Christmas Walk and Holiday Stroll, which begins Thursday and runs through Sunday, include the town tree lighting, shopping events, concerts,the Gingerbread Festival, Ice Sculpture Festival, Wonderland of Wreaths, holiday parade and Santa's arrival via lobster boat.
