Thanks to Everyone Who Supported the Holiday Stroll!
Friday night, artisans, entertainers, the mayor, area businesses and residents of the Pioneer Valley braved the cold for a joyful outpouring of holiday cheer.  More to come as we take a look back at the night - but the early results are in: Northampton's first-ever Holiday Stroll was a smashing success!  The Downtown Northampton Association sincerely thanks everyone who worked so hard to bring this special event downtown, and everyone who came to join us in the celebration.

Here's a first look at what people are saying:
