Christmas by the Sea
Chatham, MA, USA
About
Christmas by the Sea turns downtown Chatham into a full weekend of small-town holiday fun, with Main Street shops staying open late, a light parade with Santa, tree lighting, and horse-drawn carriage rides on Friday night. Saturday brings two Breakfast with Santa seatings, a Polar Express screening, live music, and Santa’s Workshop for drop-in visits. The festivities run December 12-14, 2025, all centered around Main Street, with a mix of free and ticketed events. It’s an easy, walkable weekend if you want that classic Cape Cod holiday feeling.
