Downtown Bristol’s Annual Holiday Open House

Downtown Bristol’s Annual Holiday Open House has traditionally been a customer appreciation night when downtown merchants stay open late, have special discounts, and refreshments are served at participating locations. The Museum Store will be welcoming shoppers and visitors during the open house — we will be offering some great specials and sharing hot cider and refreshments in a festive atmosphere!

You can also enjoy visiting the other downtown merchants and enjoying an evening of family friendly entertainment. Santa Claus will be giving out candy canes, Bristol Ballet will have dancers in costume, the Washington–Lee Warblers from Washington Lee Elementary After School Program will perform, and downtown horse & carriage rides are back.

Join us and support your downtown shops; it’s a great way to stimulate our local economy and find special one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your holiday list!

Please note: The museum exhibits will not be open during the open house.
