Manchester Holiday Stroll

Manchester Holiday Stroll A night of casual (and sometimes frantic) strolling through Manchester-by-the-Sea... going shop to shop, experiencing the spirit and joy of the holidays

Merchants from Manchester-by-the Sea open their doors for a night of holiday fun... Pick up the official Passbook at any of the many spots around town who distribute them. Then, take your Passbook to each spot listed within, and get stamps from the participating shops. No purchases are necessary, though any are always appreciated! When you have completely filled your book with stamps, take it over

to 7 Central and enter it into our raffle! Raffle prizes have always been fun and desirable, starting with the [then brand NEW] iPad back in 2010... to an Apple Watch for 2015...and a Fitbit Blaze in 2016. Get to know the shops in this picturesque seaside village, enjoy their hospitality, and mingle with fellow players, hustling to complete their stamp collecting... then settle in for the always-comfy setting of 7C, and maybe [if you're the lucky type] get the first of your holiday gifts! One local put it perfectly..."It's like adult trick-or-treating!"
And while entire families are encouraged to join in on the fun, we agree!

Gonna be a different kind of Holiday this year. The regular ‘mingle’ just can’t happen... but in a year I think we’ll all be clamoring for the return of our town traditions.
We feel ya.
Right there with you.
In the meantime, SHOP LOCALLY!
Support your favorite Manchester shops and restaurants, PLEASE?!?
Remember that so many of the incredibly special programs we love (and will miss this year) are brought to you by the merchants of MbtS.
Love to you all!
We will be thinking of strolls passed as this holiday season commences...

2016's Passbook night was a SUPER success! It was a bustling, fun and festive night in Manchester-by-the-Sea! Shop owners donned smiles, tuned in some holiday tunes and put out their best spread, and people shopped, mingled, laughed and had another exceptional night in MbtS!
We can't wait to do it all again next year!

Consider yourself warned.

Our elves are hard at work prepping food and festive fun for tonight's Shop Manchester Night night!
