WESTBOROUGH – Celebrate the arrival of the holiday season with the annual Winter Stroll on Sunday, Nov. 27 from 2 to 5 p.m.
More than 45 local businesses and organizations will offer refreshments, activities and discounts. Shuttle buses, sponsored by Westborough Recreation, will bring guests to four “Snowflake Stops” all over town. The shuttles will begin around 2 p.m. and end around 4:15 p.m.
In addition to the Winter Stroll, Mrs. Claus will tell stories at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. at the Westborough Public Library. The Light Parade on West Main Street will take place at 5:15 p.m.; the Tree Lighting by the Rotary Club of Westborough, featuring Santa himself, will be at 6 p.m. at the rotary.
The Winter Lights holiday celebration will return with a few changes.
There will be twice the number of lampposts available for sponsorships, the tree lighting will be enhanced and members of the Westborough High School choir will perform.
“We wanted to try and enhance the event,” said Jim Coulson, chair of the Rotary Club of Westborough’s Winter Lights Committee.
The Rotary Club decided to drop the colored floodlights from last year’s display; instead, it will have wraparound white lights on the trees around the rotary; the evergreen in the middle will have colored lights.
