Hi! If you're planning to attend this year's event, it will be Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 5PM. Finding a place to eat during the event can be challenging because there's so many people, so I'd plan to eat earlier if you can. If you're visiting on a different day, many of the downtown stores & restaurants are closed on Mondays, so keep that in mind. For restaurants, a few places come to mind. Village Pizza has great pizza and other dishes. Lenoci's is a real Italian restaurant with sandwiches, salads and more. The Charles and Lucky Lou's are higher end and have a good variety of meals. For things to do, the town has some neat things going on. A very popular event is the "Tours by Candlelight," which is hosted by the Webb Deane Stevens museum. The houses are from the 1700s and lit by candlelight and decorated in the Christmas traditions from that era. They also serve treats and refreshments. The tours have a limited schedule. It looks like tickets/reservations are be required, but I think the houses are open for "normal" tours at other times. More info is available online. A people event is the "Homes for the Holidays" tour. It's a tour of 4 private houses and 3 others decorated for the holidays. This event is on December 7. Tickets can be purchased online. Another interesting historical house to visit is Hurlbut-Dunham House, which is decorated for the holidays. They have tours on 12/7-12/8 and 12/14-12/15. I don't know if there's a cost for the tours. The Heirloom Market hosts a "Holiday Pop-Up Shop" throughout the season that looks pretty exciting. I hope this gives you enough into to get started in finding something fun to do. Everything I mentioned can be found online if you're looking for more info. Have a great time when you visit!
@ thank you for getting back to me. I was unable to make it to the events Wethersfield held since I had prior plans, but all do sound wonderful and I will put them on my calendar for 2025. I did however make a day trip to Wethersfield a week before Christmas. It is a charming town, with beautiful historic buildings and friendly people. I walk around the streets, visited the historical building and did a little bit of shopping.
Beautiful skipper
Thank you. Have a wonderful holiday!
