On the first three Thursday evenings in December, more than 25 Roslindale village shops and restaurants will stay open late for the holiday season. In addition, they will be hosting wine and food tastings, performances, or offering great deals. Here is just a sample of what some businesses will be offering or hosting this Holiday Wander:

The Wander kicks off with free childcare at the Roslindale Community Center. Drop your children off at the Community Center on Cummins Highway for the evening and hit the town to enjoy some grown up fun such as a wine tasting co-hosted by Redd’s in Rozzie and Tony’s Market with a selection of food and wine from Tony's home region of Napoli. There will be a host of treats including comfort food - small plate delicacies by Charlie Redd, Tony's sausages also prepared by Charlie, and all-natural beef stew from Tony's. 6-8pm 

 On December 12^th, El Chavo Mexican Products will be hosting a Posada Navideña. A true Mexica (and now Roslindale tradition)  Nativity re-enactment of Joseph and Mary seeking lodging. Come dressed warm, ready to carol for "POSADA" or "SHELTER" around the square and expect to be greeted by warm tamales, champurrado, piñatas for the kids and other Mexican goodies. We will depart from El Chavo accompanied by a Mariachi Band at 6:00 pm sharp!

December 19^th will feature roving musicians, caroling, and a luminary candle-lighting event in Adams Park.
