Santa Visits Fairfield – a Fairfield Tradition
November 24, 2018
LOCATION CHANGE FOR 2018: OLD TOWN HALL GREEN (611 Old Post Road, Fairfield)
Santa is arriving and visiting Fairfield on November 24th! Santa Claus, played by Joe Skarupa, a perennial Santa-About-Town, will arrive by hook-and-ladder at 10 AM. He will be present on Old Town Hall Green until approximately 2:00PM to listen to the wide-eyed wishes of children. Santa’s elves will give each child an adorable, small holiday gift.
This free event, in its 18th year, is made available to the community through the generous support of the Chamber’s membership, expressly: ACBI Insurance as the Event Sponsor.
As in the past, the ever-popular children’s petting zoo will return, from 10 AM to 1 PM weather permitting … as well as the much anticipated horse and wagon rides (10am-2pm). A food truck will sell breakfast sandwiches/coffee and hamburgers and hot dogs to the public, plus a variety drinks. DJ Scott Nickel will provide classic and traditional holiday music, creating an even more festive feeling, as children await their turn to see Santa.
The Chamber has also invited non-profit organizations to distribute information about their charitable community outreach efforts and/or sell holiday items to benefit and support their programs. In addition, hot chocolate and cider will be available as well. Purchase your holiday wreaths and poinsettias to start your festive decorating.
November 24th is also “Small Business Saturday”, a national campaign started by American Express to promote, and remind our residents and people, to “shop local” and support local businesses. The Chamber will give out “I Love Fairfield” button pins, along with a “Shop Local” items from the Town of Fairfield, including canvas bags.
In the case of very heavy snow or heavy rain, the event will be cancelled. For current information, please check the Chamber’s website: FairfieldCTChamber.com … or call the office: 203-255-1011.
