3rd Annual Walk Through the Wildwoods

Description

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1ST:

We’ve celebrated two wonderfully festive years of ‘Walk through the Wildwoods’…and you know what they say: the third time’s a charm!

We’re tripling down on the aspects that’ve made each night so magical and adding some new additions to really make our spirits bright.

Start your stroll with a visit to all of the local artists, makers, bakers, and roasters under the holiday vendor tent. Check off those wishlists by gifting the people in your life (and of course, gifting yourself) with unique, handmade creations from Rhode Island businesses.

- Friday we’ll be joined by: Aucoin Designs, Branchish Jerky, Forage & Flower, Hawt Chocolate, La Belle Peche Coffee Roasters, Paige Anna Jewelry, PLNTbaby Jewelry, and Sacred Flame.

There’s no place like home for the holidays…especially when home is made up of these talented folks!

Next to the holiday vendor tent, our Home & Garden shop transforms into our very own Winter Wonderland - a magical space where decorated trees showcase unique themes among hundreds of ornaments, gifts, holiday decor, and seasonal dining essentials which are not only on full display, but are also for sale!

From there, make your way onto the tree-lined, glowing paths of lights and joyful holiday scenes as you stroll at your own pace and time “through the wildwoods” and into a large area full of freshly-cut Christmas trees; pick out your perfect tree while basking in the amazing smell under the glow of festive lights.

Follow illuminated paths towards the patio where your dinner plans are much more delicious than just some chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

- Family owned and operated, The Sticks Pizza Co. prepares and heats up specialty pies right in front of us within their mobile ovens.

- RIs first of its kind, Mac Daddy warms our bellies with gooey gourmet mac and cheese combinations.

- Two Gals Cocktails bring us their custom seasonal concoctions and more, including a spiced hot cider which is sure to wet (and warm) your whistle. Raise up cups of Christmas cheer!

We don’t have halls, per se - so we’re decking the gazebo with sparkling lights and greens for you to take your own festive holiday photos!

Just like Burl Ives sings, we’re bringing all of our holly and jolly for the best time of the year. We DO know that there’ll be snow (if the Snow Miser doesn’t make any, we will) and we’ll be nice and warm sipping on our cups of cheer (Wildwood’s own hot cocoa) by two staff-attended fire pits.

Whether you have a local holiday shopping list that you’re checking twice or simply want to enjoy a festive evening out, celebrate a bright start to the season with us. Gather yourselves, your friends and your family and join us at Wildwood for two illuminated evenings full of holiday cheer. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

In lieu of an “entrance fee,” we are again asking that visitors consider bringing a new, unopened toy with them to contribute towards the Spirit of Giving Holiday Toy Drive through Children’s Friend - who serve RI’s most vulnerable children and families by providing children in need a toy to cherish this holiday season.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2ND: Saturday brings all the merry and joy that we experience on Friday, with a few key differences -

**Saturday evening from 4:30pm to 6:30pm - you better watch out…you better not cry! You better not pout…we’re telling you why: SANTA CLAUS is coming to town! He's visiting Wildwood from his home in the North Pole to make this December’s Walk Through the Wildwoods the one you'll remember; the best and the merriest you ever did have! Ol’ Saint Nic can’t wait to greet and take a photo with kids from one to 92 (or any age - this is a free and public event for all!)
