For locals and guests that will be in Cape May for Christmas, holiday festivities will be taking place all around town, and you won’t want to miss any of them! If these past few weeks leading up to Christmas haven’t already gotten you into the holiday spirit, then there’s still plenty of festivities to get you there over this final week of the year

The Yuletide House Tour at the historic Physick House showcases an authentic Victorian-style Christmas. The thirty minute guided tour takes you through the festively decorated first-floor rooms of the house and is a look back in time at the Victorian Christmas traditions the Physick family had in the late 1800s. You can also take a stroll through the old fashioned Christmas exhibit at the Carroll Gallery, where you’ll be able to check out model trains, a village collection, and the enormous Christmas tree that is on display.
Holiday Lights Trolley Ride
