Stockbridge Main Street At Christmas - November 28, 2007
The town of Stockbridge, made famous by Norman Rockwell's painting of the village during the holidays, becomes a magical New England setting decorated with holiday wreaths and festive lights, as the town celebrates the 18th annual Stockbridge Main Street at Christmas, November 30, December 1st through the 2nd.
Sponsored by the Stockbridge Chamber of Commerce, the holiday celebration offers a full range of activities, with highlights including a holiday reading at the Berkshire Theatre Festival, historic house tours, caroling, and a holiday concert.
Capping off the weekend is a recreation on Sunday of the scene depicted in Main Street at Christmas, complete with vintage automobiles parked in the spots occupied in the painting. The day's activities include horse drawn rides, a visit from Santa Claus, photos with Rockwell, Roger the Jester, and much more.
The festivities celebrate Rockwell's popular depiction of what for many is the quintessential small New England Town, with all the longing for a simpler time that it represents. Rockwell began painting the popular image in 1956, but did not complete it until December 1967.
The image and character of Stockbridge has changed little over the years, thanks to the great care and affection of its residents, and it is that special ambience which draws so many visitors to this gala celebration.
For further information, please contact Barbara J. Zanetti, Stockbridge Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 224, 6 Elm Street, Stockbridge, MA 01262
