Hingham Downtown Christmas in the Square 2026

Sharing is caring!

A  beloved tradition for all ages, Christmas in the Square is old fashioned seasonal, community fun with sparkling lights throughout town, a police escort of Santa on a fire truck and visits with him on South Street, shops open late and offering special treats, and live music performed by local musicians and student groups.
