Read more HERE

Come one, come all and see the splendor of our illuminated winter gardens. Many holidays and festivals are based on lights, some even being called a Festival of Lights, like Diwali for Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism, and Hanukah for Judaism. Christianity also celebrates using lights, seen on a Christmas tree or in a snowcapped windowsill. Tonight, visitors are invited to explore the grounds of the Stevens-Coolidge Place as they twinkle and shine with holiday lights that brighten the landscape during this holiday season. Pick up a song book and sing holiday songs or simply listen to others as you warm up with hot cocoa and make s’mores around our outdoor fire pit.

This is a three-weekend event. Full event schedule includes:

Friday, December 8 through Sunday, December 10, 5-7pm
Friday, December 15 through Sunday, December 17, 5-7pm
Friday, December 22 through Saturday, December 23 5-7pm

Wednesday December 6 seemed to be a popular day for closures.  Lone Gull closed for electrical work; Cape Ann Museum closed to public for event; Parker River National Wildlife Refuge closed for Deer Hunt (yes, that’s what the sign said).  We were turned off Rt 133 – closed for unknown reasons.  We ran into a washed out road at Rough Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary and turned back.

BUT the ocean was open for business and it was just spectacular at Eastern Point.
