If you live on the North Shore and love the arts, join us for a classic old-fashioned Christmas experience with music, outdoor lights, stories, and traditional performances right on Gordon College’s campus!

Highlights this year include the bell lighting, hot chocolate and a 'make your own s'mores' station, hayrides, carols, bonfires—and the area's most popular traditional holiday concert—the Christmas Gala.

All events are free unless otherwise noted.

Schedule of Events

December 6
Campus and Bell Lighting
5–7:30 p.m.
Join us for carols and hot chocolate as we light the bell and gazebo—a perfect family event. Afterwards, hop back on a hayride or join us at the bonfire and make your own s'mores!
**Please note: For fire safety reasons, children under the age of 10 will be assigned to a volunteer s'more maker. We request that parents encourage children of all ages to practice fire safety.**

Christmas Hayrides
5–7:30 p.m. (with a break for the Bell Lighting program)
An event children and parents will both love—board the sustainable “green” sleigh for a hayride around the campus. Passengers of all ages will experience festive Christmas surprises along the way—treats, hats for the ride and a chance to sing carols with Gordon students! Ride before or after our Christmas bell lighting—a memorable time for all!
