It's the most wonderful time of the year - twinkling lights, fragrant wintergreens, beautiful bows, and a most amazing Christmas tree on Bowen's Wharf. On Saturday evening, join us for the 41st Bowen's Wharf Christmas Tree Lighting. Begin your holiday shopping and savor a special meal with your loved ones after visiting with some very important guests from the North Pole.

Come early to enjoy seasonal music around the shops (recorded music begins at 2 pm), and stay through the evening as the festivities begin with the arrival of Frosty the Snowman at 4:30. Local musicians take the stage at 5 pm to lead the Christmas Carol Sing-a-long. We then light the tree at 6 pm, as the official beginning of Christmas at Bowen's Wharf! Immediately after the lighting, Santa and Mrs. Claus sail into Bowen's Basin (harbor arrival is weather permitting) at 6 pm also, immediately following the lighting of the tree. They join us on the Wharf, eager to listen to every child's special wish. Lots of charm, fun and good cheer for the entire family!

Bowen's Wharf restaurants remain open for warm holiday meals. Many shops will offer refreshments. All are welcome, FREE OF CHARGE! Santa and his friends will be waiting for you, rain, shine, or snow!
