FAMILY FRIENDLY ACK-TIVITY

ANCHOR DROP

The Nantucket Hotel

In New York City the ball drops in Times Square. On Nantucket the anchor drops on Easton Street. Head down to the front of the Nantucket Hotel to watch as the anchor makes its descent to ring in 2020! Not up late enough or have young kids who want to celebrate the new year but can’t stay awake all the way to midnight? The anchor drops twice on Nantucket! Once at 5pm, complete with hot chocolate for the kiddos and once at midnight for all the other revelers.
