Weekend Festivities

A Very Merry Weekend

Step into a holiday wonderland at our outdoor Merry Market, where local shops and handcrafted treasures await at every turn. Twinkling lights, seasonal décor, and the aroma of festive treats create a joyful backdrop as you browse for gifts, sip a seasonal brew from Hog Island Brewery, or savor bites from Red River BBQ.

A small band performs on a covered patio during the Merry Market while diners sit at tables with blue checkered tablecloths, eating and conversing.

Pause for a cozy lunch or dinner at Thoreau’s, or enjoy lite bites and live entertainment at the Outer Bar. Little ones (and the young at heart) can visit the magical Mrs. Claus Cottage to share their wish lists with Santa from 3 to 5 PM. As the evening unfolds, gather on the Grand Lawn or at the Outer Bar to marvel at sparkling holiday fireworks illuminating the sky.

From the first stroll through our twinkling gardens to the final sparkle of holiday fireworks, the day at Wequassett is brimming with festive magic.

 

A gingerbread cottage decorated with red, green, and white candies and icing sits on a snowy surface, with blurred festive lights in the background—just like something Mrs. Claus would make.
