Bristol’s Christmas Dinner and Festival has become an anticipated tradition in this community for over two decades. This year’s celebration is Sunday December 18 at the Inn at Baldwin Creek, Mary’s Restaurant in Bristol. The dinner and festivities start at 11:30 and continue until all are served. The Inn at Baldwin Creek & Mary’s Restaurant provides the meal, supported by donations from local businesses, and dozens of volunteers coordinate the event.

This holiday event is FREE and all Addison County residents are invited to share in the holiday spirit. A bountiful turkey and ham dinner buffet paired with superb local entertainment are the highlights of this annual event. Over 200 county residents usually partake in the festivities, from seniors delighted to share the warmth of the holiday spirit to families with young children who appreciate the great food and joyful atmosphere. And for many, the most anticipated thrill is talking with Santa who always finds time to stop by to see the children. Many local musicians and performers entertain throughout the day. If you are an entertainer and would like to volunteer, call 802-453-4613.

As always, free transportation is available to those needing a ride to and from the Inn at Baldwin Creek. Home delivered meals for shut-ins are also delivered throughout the day. Last year nearly 100 home deliveries were made. Requests for transportation and home delivery to shut-ins must be received by Friday December 16. Call 802-453-2432 to reserve a ride or home delivery.
