The week of Thanksgiving always means that Bristol Borough is getting ready for a weekend filled with Christmas and holiday spirit.

This year, the festivities kick off at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 24. Beginning at 5 p.m., the shops along Mill Street will be open and lively as residents and visitors to the borough make their way through town. At 7 p.m., council president Ralph DiGuiseppe II will introduce District Attorney Matt Weintraub, who will light the Christmas tree at the base of Mill and Radcliffe streets near the wharf.
