🎄 Celebrate the Season in Hardwick! 🎅
Join friends, family, and neighbors for an afternoon full of holiday cheer!
Santa kicks off the festivities at 3:00 PM, arriving at the Town House for photos. Enjoy tractor rides, games, hands-on activities, exciting raffles, and a lineup of wonderful local vendors offering handmade gifts for everyone on your list.
Stroll over to the Hardwick Congregational Church and spread some joy by donating food to the Food Pantry or dropping off equipment for Peace Lacrosse the World.
Swing by Mimi’s Coffeehouse for tasty treats—and don’t miss their festive Holiday Sip & Paint after the tree lighting!
Then make your way to the Upper Common to join your neighbors in caroling, ring bells with the Hardwick Memorial Handbell Choir, and take part in the Tree Lighting at 5:00 PM in front of the First Universalist Church, complete with a beautiful Living Nativity.
