This year the lighting displays around the gardens have been expanded as well as the fire pit area on Nickerson Field. In fact there will be marshmallow roasting at the fire pit. There are a number of new additions as well such as the family activity area located at Parade Field where you can enjoy a warming tent while snacking on donuts and apple cider provided by Cape Cod Donuts Food Truck.
Once again everyone has the chance to visit Mrs. Claus at the Special Exhibitions Gallery and Santa in the museum’s 1913 Model T Ford.
