This Moorestown tradition typically draws hundreds of families who enjoy strolling along Moorestown’s main corridor listening to music inspired by the holidays, stopping in candlelit shops and having a meal in town. Many stores and services will offer hot cider, cookies and other treats.
Event co-chairs Kathy Hiltner and George Softly are excited about all the activities they’re lining up for this year’s event.
“You can absorb the historical ambiance of our town as you visit the shops, meet the business owners and spend time with friends and neighbors,” Softly said. “It’s such a festive tradition where members of our community can connect with one another, have fun starting their holiday shopping, and celebrate Moorestown.”
