Lantern Light Village returns at Mystic Seaport Museum
An Immersive Event that will take visitors on a Journey Through Holiday Traditions
This December, Mystic Seaport Museum ( 75 Greenmanville Ave, Mystic, CT 06355 ) welcomes guests back to Lantern Light Village, a cherished holiday experience where visitors can enjoy the magic of the season while journeying through both modern-day festivities and 19th-century holiday traditions. This immersive, outdoor, self-guided event promises to spark joy and create cherished memories for all.
A Wide Variety of Enchanting Activities
Lantern Light Village offers a wide array of activities including sparkling light displays, live musical performances, horse-drawn carriage rides, fireside gatherings, and a visit from St. Nicholas. Guests can also enjoy a variety of holiday-themed activities, including festive crafts and classic games, making it the perfect outing for families and friends.
Step Back in Time
As you stroll through our riverside campus, step back in time as townspeople from 1876 share stories of love, family traditions, and festive cheer. Enjoy live music, join a dance, and enjoy some holiday treats as you visit Greenmanville on Christmas Eve, 1876.
Things to Know Before You Go

Some parts of the village are lit exclusively by kerosene lanterns to enhance the historic atmosphere. For added visibility visitors are welcome to bring a small flashlight or headlamp.
