Don't Miss This!
I live just outside the Village of Wickford, along the shore. It really has a lot going for it in all seasons. In the summer, we have the art festival, the air show, and fireworks just to name a few things.
But during the holidays, there are also a couple of outstanding events. One is the Festival of Lights. Santa arrives on a sailboat surrounded by kayakers, television crews are there to show the holiday windows and the winner of the best window is announced live on Channel 10, carolers stroll the streets, and you can even get a hay ride and some hot chocolate. Santa arrives Friday evening at 5:30 at the town dock. There are other activities all weekend.
The other thing not to miss, is the annual Little Picture Show at the Wickford Art Association on Beach Street. The members offer their smaller-sized art at very affordable prices. What a great gift! Original art is always appreciated. I make a point of buying myself something there every year along with a couple of gifts. The show runs through December 24.

Wickford at Christmas time is one of my all time favorite experiences. I smile everytime I drive through town on my way to work in the wee hours of the morning. Santa arriving at the dock is one of my daughter's fondest holiday memories. More so than any present found beneath the tree on Christmas morn.
