Edaville’s Winter Wonderland 2026

Edaville’s Winter Wonderland is back for 2026, and it’s lit up and rolling just 45 minutes from Boston and Providence. Ride the train through the lights as often as you like (first come, first served), take a horse-drawn carriage ride, catch the light and music shows, and visit Santa. Santa is included with admission. Kids can join Elf Boot Camp every weekend. There are also new rides this year, plus the Ferris wheel, the carousel, pony rides and the petting zoo. Each weekend has its own theme: <ul><li>Nov 27–29: Giving Thanks</li><li>Dec 4–6: Home for the Holidays (wear your sweaters or PJs)</li><li>Dec 11–13: Holidays Are Better Together, with the holiday artisan market</li><li>Dec 18–20: Countdown to Christmas, with the Giving Tree</li><li>Dec 26–27: Let’s Glow Crazy</li></ul>Want to make it extra special? Upgrade to Pajama Express First Class for a reserved seat, a knitted hat, hot cocoa and a candy bar. The event runs rain, shine or snow. Kids under 2 are free. Get your tickets online before your weekend sells out.

Día de los Muertos Celebration

The Multicultural Arts Center (MAC) will celebrate the rich cultural traditions of Mexico with a vibrant, family-friendly Día de los Muertos Festival on Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 5:30 PM at its East Cambridge location. Bringing together music, dance, storytelling, visual arts, and community traditions, the afternoon-long celebration will honor the lives and memories of loved ones while inviting audiences of all ages to experience the beauty and significance of Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The celebration will feature a live performance by Mariachi Guadalajara, an interactive Mexican folkloric dance lesson led by Marissa Molinar, bilingual storytelling presented by Spanish Fun Program, and a Día de los Muertos-inspired fashion presentation by Mexican artist Pau Ávila. Throughout the afternoon, guests can also participate in traditional arts and crafts, contribute to community altar-making activities, enjoy face painting, and explore offerings from local food and artisan vendors.
