Upcoming Holiday Events In And Around New Canaan
NEW CANAAN, CT — With the Holiday Season upon us, you may have friends or family in town to celebrate. So what do you do with them?
In and around New Canaan, there are a host of fun events to choose from. For example, Grace Farms Foundation hosts its annual Songs of the Season from Dec. 19 through 22, which features Grammy-nominated artists filling the beautiful Lukes Wood Road facility's Sanctuary with beautiful music.
"Songs of the Seasons offers visitors a break from the holiday craze to reflect and contemplate in a welcoming environment," said Chelsea Thatcher, Director of Communications & Marketing at Grace Farms Foundation, in a statement. "The diverse lineup of musicians lends unique voices to classic seasonal music, and we're excited to showcase our community's talented artists."
There's also still time to buy your Christmas tree or wreath - and help local charities in the process - at the annual New Canaan Exchange Club sale in Kiwanis Park.
