Here's what you missed at the Padanaram Christmas
Dec 3, 2016
The Padanaram Business Association has hosted a Christmas festival since 1978. The tradition continued on December 2, as attendees gathered for caroling, live ice sculpting, and Santa, although it wasn't always this big, said Linda Hopps, association president.
"This was before people were open on Sundays, so it was a Christmas stroll to get people into the retail stores," said Hopps about the earlier days of the festival. Now, "it's more of a community thing where people come in and have a snack with us."
Hopps said all the restaurants, offices, and retail stores in Padanaram were open for the three-hour event.
