The Winter Stroll is Nashua’s largest and most cherished annual celebration, drawing more than 30–35,000 attendees downtown to kick off the holiday season.
Each year, dozens of local performers bring energy, heart, and holiday spirit to this beloved tradition — and we’d love for you to be a part of it. Whether you’re a band, dance troupe, theater group, or solo performer, your talent helps create the magic that makes the Stroll unforgettable.
This year's Winter Stroll will be Saturday, November 28, 2026. Performances will be from 6PM - 9PM.
Performance interest forms are due no later than October 19, 2026.
Please note that submitting a form does not guarantee participation. Performer selections will be made by the Winter Holiday Stroll Entertainment Committee to ensure a balanced and engaging lineup across all venues. Selected performers will receive an agreement for signature by November 1, and venue/time slot assignments will be distributed by November 15.
In addition to the Winter Holiday Stroll, we’re also inviting area performers to participate in Plaid Friday (November 28, 2026) — a community celebration promoting local businesses. If you’re interested, please indicate that on your application.
We can’t wait to showcase your talent as part of this year’s milestone celebration!
