The Holiday Candlelight Walk Through Cape May In New Jersey Is Pure Christmas Magic
Cape May is one of New Jersey’s most charming shore towns. It’s a popular place to visit for summer vacation but it’s also a beloved Christmas destination. Visitors can find great gifts, decorations, holiday shows, plenty of lights, and an incredible candlelight walk around town. To experience a Victorian Christmas celebration like no other, head to Cape May!
The Mid-Atlantic Center For The Arts And Humanities, also known as the Cape May MAC, contributes significantly to the holiday season. They're responsible for many of the Christmas events around town, including organizing the Christmas Candlelight House Tours.
The self-guided tours are the heart of Cape May's Christmas celebration. They take place over several weekends and feature dozens of local homes and businesses.
You can expect exquisite decorations, inside and out, at places like The Mason Cottage, The Mission Inn, The Queen Victoria B&B, Hotel Macomber, and several private homes.
You can walk around at your own pace, and limited shuttle service will be available. There will be hospitality centers along the way with warm drinks, home baked goodies, and restrooms.
Ticket holders will also enjoy admission to the Emlen Physick Estate (Cape May's only Victorian House Museum) and to the “An Old-fashioned Christmas: Holiday Traditions through the Years” exhibit in the Carroll Gallery.
To reserve tickets, call 609-884-5404 or order them online. At $40 for adults and $20 for children, they’re a steal. You’ll enjoy a Christmas wonderland, snacks, drinks, live music, a museum, holiday exhibit, and memories to last a lifetime! Stay the weekend, there will be plenty more going on in Cape May including parades, tree lighting ceremonies, Winter Wonderland at Congress Hall (featuring an outdoor shopping village, concert series, and children’s activities), holiday-themed trolley tours, and more!
