Caroling at the Hanover Bridge

Join the Hanover Historical Society at the historic pedestrian bridge in downtown Hanover to revive a Victorian community Christmas past. This family-friendly event is free—a gift to the community. Area church and school choirs/groups will lift us into a festive spirit with their lively renditions of familiar songs and carols, interacting with audience sing-a-longs. Everyone enjoys hot cider and cookies around crackling bonfires. Bring your camera for instant memories of your child bundled up in an authentic one-horse open sleigh and meet one-on-one with Old St. Nick.
