Last chance for Candlelight shopping
If you still have gifts to buy and you haven’t made it out to Chepachet for a chance to support local businesses – in a charming village decked out for the holiday – you still have one last chance this year.
The village will host the final Candlelight Shopping event of the season on Thursday, Dec. 22 from 5 to 9 p.m. The events have taken place every Thursday in December, and feature local shops decorated for the season and streets lit with antique street lights, while the sounds of holiday music add to the old-fashioned ambiance. Locals and visitors are invited to the village to enjoy a unique holiday shopping, dining, and entertainment excursion.
