Lowell Dining Out Meetup Group

This is the closest you are going to get to a good old fashioned downtown Christmas celebration and parade. In addition to the parade {which starts at 4:30} many of the store windows will be decorated for the holidays, there will be a hot chocolate contest, live street music a festival of wreaths and trolley rides to the drop in craft fair at the Booth mill. And at 6 PM Santa will throw the switch and light up City Hall and the Streets of Lowell for the Holidays.
Let's plan to meet at 4 PM at the visitors center on Market St and figure out if we want to stay together after the parade to get something to eat at one of the local pubs or restaurants and make a toast to a happy holiday season
If you are going and would like to carpool let me know. If you are going separately, please note there will be a lot of parking restrictions in Lowell, but if you are parked in one of the Lowell garages by 5 PM parking will be free.

One change from last year, I will be limiting the number of partiers as things got a bit out of control last year. So sign up early so you are not excluded or on a waitlist

I know it's early but let's plan on enjoying the holidays together. Additional details will follow as the party date gets closer but for the time being as in the past the house will be decorated and if you are not in the spirit before you hopefully will be before you leave. Meet-up themed ornaments will be accepted to decorate the tree and for those who would like to participate there will be a Yankee re-gift swap at 5:30 (no late comers, sorry). Re-wrap last year's gift or some other gift you received but have not used). As always this is a Pot-Luck party but please be reasonable in the amount of food you bring as there always seems to be more than enough left over.
