South Boston to Sparkle with Holiday Cheer at the Annual Christmas Stroll on December 5
The South Boston Chamber of Commerce and the South Boston Neighborhood Development Corporation are excited to once again make the Broadway business district and surrounding areas a festive place for the community to shop and dine locally during the holiday season.
The Christmas Stroll will take place on Thursday, Dec. 5 starting at 4 p.m., kicking off our Shop, Dine, and Splurge campaign at our local businesses and restaurants! The Stroll will feature Santa Claus riding on an antique fire truck followed by an up-and-coming MusicBall singer.
Santa’s route will go up Old Colony to Dorchester Street on his way to four stops on East and West Broadway (there will be hot chocolate and treats at each stop):
- 4:15 p.m. — Medal of Honor Park
- 4:45 p.m. — Library on East Broadway (where the tree will be lit!)
- 5:15 p.m. — West Broadway Municipal Parking Lot
- 5:45 p.m. — Corner of C Street and West Broadway
The Original Dickens Carolers will stroll along East Broadway (4-6 p.m.) and the Mistletones will entertain along West Broadway (5-7 p.m.). And free Pedicab rides will be available from 6-8 p.m. to whisk customers to their favorite establishments.
We will see you at the Stroll!
