Take a journey through time this holiday season at Mystic Seaport Museum! What connects the festive seasons of bygone days to the present? The spirit of love that enchants us all. Love for each other, for seasonal traditions of every kind, for twinkling lights and carolers.

This holiday season, join us at the Museum’s Lantern Light Village and feel the love! Immerse yourself in evocative lantern light and the sound of music-fueled twinkling displays as you explore the Museum after dark.

Take in our riverside campus brimming with the tastes and sounds of the season, from holiday cookies and carolers, to old-time dances, a horse-drawn carriage ride, crackling fires, and a visit with Saint Nick. Reminiscent scenes will transport you back in time while village townspeople from 1876 share their love stories, memories, and traditions as they prepare for a festive and joyful holiday.

Enjoy games, family crafts, music below deck on the Charles W. Morgan, and so much more. This year discover why the new Lantern Light Village experience at Mystic Seaport Museum is a fun and magic-filled tradition for so many.
