santa's arrival in rockport and tree lighting photo

Join us for the return of this cherished Rockport tradition. Santa will arrive at T-Wharf on Rockport Harbor on Saturday, December 2 at 1:00 PM, following a brisk lobster boat ride across Sandy Bay.

Then Santa and Mrs. Claus will proceed along T-Wharf and Broadway to the First Baptist Church, led by a Rockport Forest Fire truck and local Cub and Brownie Scouts.

Santa will be able to linger a while to visit and have photos…

The Tree Lighting Ceremony will get underway at 4 PM welcoming Santa and the public to Dock Square with carols and a stirring rendition of “Christmas in Rockport” performed by the Dock Square Carolers.

The Board of Selectmen will offer official greetings from the Town and will conclude the ceremony by pulling the switch to light this year’s Rockport Christmas tree.
