Holliston First Night Rail Trail Walk - Dec 31 - 5:00 PM to 8 PM

Holliston's beloved First Night Trail Walk is back with some exciting new features!

This year’s event will feature expanded warming stations, each made up of five firepits.

Adding to the warm glow of the firepits, TC Scoops will return with their complimentary ice cream station. Attendees will also enjoy a laser light show, festive music along the trail, and 1,000 tea-light lanterns provided for walkers to carry and illuminate their path.

Chat with friends, enjoy the warmth of fire pits, snack on S'mores and hot dogs, and sip hot chocolate along the trail. Entertainment features delight walkers and rotate over the years.

Admin note: Since this is a night walk on a busy trail I would suggest wearing some fun lights so we don't lose each other on the trail.

We will meet in the parking lot of Robert Adams Middle School, 323 Woodland Street, Holliston, MA. at 5 PM

Dogs are not allowed on the walk.
