Experience the village’s seasonally varied offerings: new life and fragrant blossoms in the spring; warm, sandy beaches and a relaxed, yet bustling atmosphere in the summer; vibrant fall foliage with celebrations of a bountiful harvest; and the quiet winter beauty of glistening snow and festive lights adorning trees and windows.
