Winter Holiday Stroll Raffle |

Since 1993, the Stroll has served as Nashua’s official kick-off to the holiday season.
Each year, close to 30,000 people from across New England visit downtown Nashua to enjoy
this FREE holiday event.
The evening kicks off with a candlelit walk of thousands down to Railroad Square where the City's official Christmas tree is lit. Much of the downtown is closed to traffic for the evening, allowing Strollers
to wander to different artistic and cultural performances, sample offerings
from street vendors, dine in downtown’s fine restaurants and do holiday
shopping at our unique specialty shops and boutiques.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, the Winter Holiday Stroll also features
a collection at in front of Citizens Bank where strollers can drop off items such as canned
goods, disposable diapers and new, unwrapped toys for local charitable organizations.
