Culture Connect Featured Event

Want to enjoy our annual Community Carol Sing and Mystic Seaport for free? Bring a canned good for a local charity. Last year, nearly 3,000 visitors donated almost 5,000 pounds of food. All food items are distributed by the Pawcatuck Neighborhood Center.

All of the Museum's historic ships and exhibits open at 10 a.m. on Sunday, December 21. The day concludes with a carol sing from 3 to 4 p.m. The carol sing is led once again by Jamie Spillane, the former Ledyard High School choral director who now travels from Iowa to lead this annual tradition.

Additionally, the Planetarium at Mystic Seaport will present "The Star of Bethlehem," a show that explores the splendor of the winter skies, merging science, mythology, religious observance, winter traditions and music. Visitors are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to each program. For more information, please call 860.572.5315.
