The entertainment continues the following night with a free Holiday Concert at Town Hall featuring the vocal talents of Ericka & Mattaniah Corban singing holiday favorites as well as some originals. Each year Seabrook hosts the Candlelit Service, a non-denominational spiritual celebration on Sunday, December 24th at Town Hall.

Winter Isn’t Over Yet
Why now might be the best time to take your kids skiing.
