December on The Other Side!
Kick off December with the Lighting of the Merry Maple in Amherst — a beloved tradition that signals the start of the holidays, complete with a marching band and horse-drawn sleigh rides. Catch up on gift shopping during South Hadley’s Holiday Stroll, Easthampton’s Cottage Street Open Studios, or at Northampton's four-fair Holiday Market Walk. Reflect on the solstice at Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity, then greet the New Year with a bang by enjoying a Murder Mystery at the Inn on Boltwood, or the 12-hour music-filled celebration that is First Night Northampton!
