Christmas in Rockport, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and growing the holiday season in the historic seaside village of Rockport, Massachusetts.

Each year, Rockport comes alive with a month of beloved holiday traditions, including Santa’s arrival by boat, the Dock Square tree lighting, festive shopping nights, strolling musicians and carolers, family activities, the annual Christmas Pageant, and more.

Our mission is to preserve the traditions that make Christmas in Rockport special while bringing new energy and visitors to town, supporting local shops, restaurants, inns, artists, and the greater Rockport community.

With its historic streets, working harbor, independent shops, and unmistakable New England charm, Rockport is a pretty magical place to spend the holidays. We invite you to come experience Christmas by the sea.
