SANDWICH – The holiday season is officially underway and Sandwich will be celebrating with Holly Days.
The month-long event sees the town transform into a winter wonderland with events and activities for all.
Denise Dever, Executive Director of the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce, also explained that this presents a great time to support local businesses. That starts on November 30 with Shop Small Saturday.
“We really are promoting our retailers and our restaurants, and we want people to come to Sandwich for the day, get an early head start on some shopping,” Dever said.
Putting an emphasis on community businesses is a key aspect of Holly Days, Dever said, as it is a microcosm of what makes Cape Cod unique.
“If we aren’t shopping in our local retailers, then we’re not supporting them, then they’re not going to survive,” she said.
“We are very community oriented, not just in Sandwich but on the Cape.”
Holly Days will also feature the lighting of the littlest Christmas tree on December 1. In addition, there will be community caroling on December 6, along with a holiday home tour and a Christmas tree auction on December 8.
Holly Days concludes with Sandwich First Night on New Year’s Eve.
