What better way to welcome the holiday season than to visit Rockland for a traditional, coastal town celebration? Santa arrives on Saturday via Coast Guard boat followed by a Parade down Main Street where everybody contributes canned goods to brighten the holidays for the needy. Stay for the conclusion of the parade at the Public Landing where you will be treated to caroling and hot chocolate around a bonfire.

NEW 2007: The Historic House Tour will include demonstrations, time-saving secrets, tastings and recipes by the Historic Inns of Rockland for sweet and savory holiday breakfast dishes, coffee cakes and fruit dishes to help you to prepare your own holiday breakfast fare for a large group effortlessly!!!
