As the temperature dips and the days grow shorter, one thing warms up in Attleboro — the return of the Attleboro Winter Festival. Set for early December 2025, this cherished annual event is back with new activities, festive vendors, and community spirit that’s brighter than ever. Whether you’re a returning visitor or checking it out for the first time, this year’s celebration promises something memorable for every age.

New Additions for 2025

This year, the Winter Festival expands with a larger vendor village featuring more local artisans and food trucks. Expect handcrafted gifts, seasonal décor, and hot treats from new participants across Southern Massachusetts. Local favorites like kettle corn, gourmet hot cocoa, and holiday cookies are back, alongside a few new culinary surprises.

One major update: a brand-new interactive kids zone with storytelling, face painting, and hands-on winter crafts. This space gives families with young children an area to engage, relax, and create while soaking up the festive atmosphere.

Live Performances and Community Talent

Music has always played a central role at the Attleboro Winter Festival, and 2025 is no exception. Multiple performance stages will feature a rotating lineup of school choirs, local bands, and dance troupes throughout the day and into the evening. One of the most anticipated acts this year is the return of the Attleboro High School Jazz Ensemble, followed by a special evening light show set to music near City Hall.

The vendor list includes over 60 small businesses and nonprofit organizations. From hand-poured candles and cozy scarves to dog treats and photography prints, the variety is impressive. Many booths also support local causes, so shoppers can feel good about their purchases making an impact close to home.
