Rough Point takes on an entirely different atmosphere after sunset, and this seasonal evening program invites guests to enjoy the estate during its most enchanting hours. Held on Fridays and Saturdays from November 28 through December 27, A Rough Point Holiday: After Dark offers a cozy blend of hot cocoa, live jazz, and softly illuminated rooms that highlight the mansion’s holiday charm.
Visitors can stop by the cocoa bar before heading out to the terrace, where firelight and blankets provide warmth against the ocean backdrop. Inside, music sets the mood as guests explore the decorated halls. The program also supports the ongoing holiday food drive in partnership with the MLK Community Center. Anyone who donates a non perishable item will receive a discount at the museum store and be entered to win a Coziest Bundle from the NRF Store.
