Last year, it was necessary to cancel the Holiday Stroll due to the weather. A small version was held later in December. The 2025 Stroll committee is undaunted and plans a gala return of all the activities.
The Stroll hours are 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13. Businesses, organizations and vendors are all anxious to greet visitors and all members of the New London community. Walking down Main Street promises to be full of Christmas magic and holiday cheer.
