Twelve Days of Christmas Stroll in Historic Bass River 
A Benefit for the South Yarmouth Library

Saturday, December 12
2:00-5:00 p.m., rain or shine
To comply with COVID-19 restrictions, the South Yarmouth Library Association (SYLA) presents an all-outdoor holiday event – The Twelve Days of Christmas Stroll – on Saturday, December 12, from 2:00 – 5:00 pm, rain or shine, in historic Bass River. This year’s stroll features 12 decorated and lighted front doorways and yards on the streets surrounding the South Yarmouth Library. 

Tickets will be on sale at the South Yarmouth Library beginning at 12:00 noon on the day of the stroll.  Sorry, no advance sales.  Look for The Partridge in a Pear Tree at the Library to get started. A $10.00 donation will be greatly appreciated – cash or checks only. Holiday masks will also be available for sale at $8:00 each.

Stroll the village streets with your booklet map to help you find all “Twelve Days.” Look for the blue snowflake flag placed in front of each location. Return your correctly completed ticket booklet to the South Yarmouth Library by 5:00 pm on the day of the stroll to be eligible for the drawing for a $100.00 gift certificate to Gerardi’s Café in South Yarmouth. 

Massachusetts COVID-19 protocols of social distancing and mask wearing are required. Strollers will not be permitted to enter homes or doorways. There will be no additional stops nor trolley services nor food available. Stay safe and healthy, have fun and let us hope that in 2021 the Holiday Cookie Stroll will return.

The SYLA provides funds to support the programs of the South Yarmouth Library for Yarmouth residents and visitors alike.
