For generations of Lighthouse families, the Yuletide Fair has been a beloved celebration of creativity, handwork, and community. Each December, during Nantucket’s Stroll Weekend, NLS welcomes the island to a festive marketplace inspired by the art and handwork that are woven throughout a Lighthouse education.
The Fair brings together thoughtful handmade gifts and artwork from near and far, alongside creations by NLS students and families. Lighthouse families fill the much-loved Bake Shop with homemade treats, while the café, art auction, and marketplace invite visitors to gather, linger, and celebrate the season together.
One of the school’s longest-standing traditions and largest annual fundraisers, the Yuletide Fair supports the programs and experiences that make a Lighthouse education possible.
