WELCOME TO BRISTOL, RI - where Christmas Spirit lasts and lasts. 

                                   

It starts with the Grand Illumination - children singing, music playing, Santa arriving from the North Pole and...the lighting of the town's Christmas Tree on Hope Street in downtown Bristol.  It's a magical moment. PLUS...our 2-day Bristol Christmas Festival with entertainment, carolers, Christmas huts offering unique food and holiday items, and indoor venues with crafters selling a variety of wares, wreath-making and children's activities. Santa can be seen greeting visitors, checking out the venues, talking with children (have they been naughty or nice?) and posing for pictures. 

The Committee isn't done after the  Illumination  & the Festival. During the following year, Committee Members volunteer in our Community focusing on our Seniors, Veterans, children, town activities, and other non-profits.
