The list of fun activities goes on and on. Be sure to stop by Breakfast with Santa or cozy up with a blanket on the horse-drawn carriage ride around town.

There are plenty of opportunities during Hawley Winterfest to sit back with a mug of warm cider or hot chocolate and enjoy some holiday carols. Be on the look out for additional family favorite activities such as the Hawley Winterfest Parade along Main Avenue, a snowman display contest throughout town and The Road to Bethlehem Live Nativity.

The Settlers Inn is the perfect place to stay while you’re in town for Hawley Winterfest!

The Settlers Inn is a beautiful place to stay during all seasons, but the Inn comes alive during the holidays. We kick off December with our annual Candlelight Christmas event happening December 1, 2 and 3. Dinner is served by candlelight in our dining room accompanied by the glow of the decorated Christmas Tree. Enjoy a special menu for the evening and live entertainment. Before dinner, take a carriage ride into Bingham Park where you’ll see the tree lit in the gazebo and the streets lined with luminaries.

Our sister property, Silver Birches Resort, will host Breakfast with Santa.

During Hawley Winterfest, come to the Inn dressed in your holiday attire to enjoy a holiday brunch on December 9-10. Our Winterfest Brunch will feature a seasonal menu and music by harpist Kristy Chmura. The Inn comes to life with holiday spirit with its decorated trees, outside lights, and the magnificent gingerbread house replica of The Settlers Inn. There might even be a dusting of snow on the ground to add to the merry environment.

Come back and celebrate the New Year with us. We will have our New Year’s Eve Dinner – on December 31. And our sister property, Silver Birches Resort, will ring in 2024 with a New Year’s Eve Bash!

We look forward to hosting you during Hawley Winterfest. Come and spend the holiday season with us!
