The Hingham Square Merchants Association has decided to postpone the start of Christmas in the Square one week because of the inclement weather forecast to hit the area Friday. 

The annual event will be held at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 13, the Hingham Police Department reported in an electronic message Thursday afternoon.

"As a result, there will be no road closures or detours this Friday, December 6. We will remind everyone next week of the road closures and detours next week for the event," HPD said.

Saturday, Dec. 7 events will go on as scheduled, according to the Hingham Downtown Association.
