The Block Island Holiday Stroll will give you the chance to get into that festive mood yet soak up the laid back feel of the island. This cheery event, Block Island Holiday Stroll, is held every year over Thanksgiving weekend.  The Holiday Stroll begins Friday and strolls along through Sunday.  Many local retailers opening their shops, from 10 am – 5 pm,  to offer discounts for all Shopping Strollers.  On Saturday the 10th annual 5K Turkey Trot will begin at the Fred Benson Town Beach, take this chance to shed some of those calories from your holiday meal or just have some family fun. As you glide in on the ferry you will notice the holiday tree made from lobster pots and buoys.  The entire town will be decorated and lit up with glittery goodness for the Block Island Holiday Stroll.  This is the perfect opportunity to visit all of your favorite Island retail shops, enjoy awesome sales, and possibly win one of the many fabulous raffle prizes.  All shopping strollers should first pick up an entry form at the Chamber of Commerce office, at the ferry landing, between 10 am and 3 PM, Friday or Saturday.  After you receive the entry form you must visit each shop listed on the form and have it initialed by the shop owner or employee to be eligible (you do not need to make a purchase).  Once all shops have been visited you should then return the completed form to the Chamber office.  The raffle drawing will take place on Sunday afternoon at the Chamber office.  Participants do not need to be present to win!  This Block Island Holiday Stroll is sure to offer loads of festive fun!
