Downtown Holiday Stroll

The Downtown Beverly Holiday Stroll returns on December 11 and 12, 2026!

The annual Downtown Holiday Stroll is back again! On Friday, 12/11 we will celebrate the businesses on Cabot St and adjacent streets, and on Saturday, 12/12 we will celebrate the businesses on Rantoul St and adjacent streets. Both nights will run from 4 – 8 PM. We are looking for artists, makers, and vendors to participate in our annual market in the basement of The Bower, as well as local downtown brick-and-mortar businesses to stay open late and be merry!

INFO & APPLICATION FOR BUSINESSES:

Are you a brick-and-mortar business within the downtown district who wishes to be added as a stop for those attending the event? Use this application here! With participation in this event, we are encouraging businesses to also light up their storefronts and sidewalks to make everything as festive, merry, and bright as possible! If you are able, we hope you’ll have twinkly lights, garlands, or maybe even seasonal inflatables to really show the spirit of the season.

INFO & APPLICATION FOR VENDORS / ARTISTS / MAKERS:

We are looking for vendors (think artists, creators, makers, bakers, etc) for our market at The Bower on Friday, December 11th from 4-8 pm (note that there may be opportunity for an additional market on Saturday, December 12th – TBD). This market is not intended for promotional tabling by companies or organizations. If this sounds like you, please submit your application here!

Applications will be reviewed by our Promotions Committee. Submitting an application does not guarantee participation in the event, but early application is helpful. Please note that any AI generated images will not be considered. Vendors not selected in the first round will be placed on a waitlist and contacted if space becomes available (or if another market opportunity arises). The vendor fee for participation begins at $50 and will increase to $75 for any applications submitted on 11/8 or later. Apply now to lock in your reduced vendor fee! Payment will be required within 1 week of acceptance.

Those accepted will be given roughly 8 feet of space to set up — enough room for a 6 foot table with space in between. Accepted vendors are required to bring their own table and chairs. The application deadline is 11/17

The Bower is an ADA compliant building with both stairs and elevator to the basement.

Beverly Memory Tree

For the last two years, ornaments with names of those lost in the Beverly, MA community are put on display on a special tree in Odell Veterans Memorial Park on Rantoul Street during the month of December. In recognition of our military members, veterans receive a special ornament distinguishing their service. We are excited to announce that the Beverly Veterans Council and Beverly Vietnam Veterans, as part of Beverly 400+, will be continuing the tradition for 2026! To place an order for an ornament, go to https://beverly400.org/event/beverly-memory-tree-lighting-ceremony/. Orders are due by November 11, 2026. The tree lighting will take place November 29, 2026 from 5-6:30 pm.
