Just Reminding You! In the Borough ...Carols, Lights and Holiday Shopping!

Please don’t miss this year’s Stonington Village Improvement Association’s Christmas Carol Sing, Tree Lighting & Merchant Stroll Friday Dec. 6. The festivities begin at 5:30 p.m.

Every year, the SVIA decorates a tree in Wadawanuck Square and lights it (with generous help from the nearby Stonington Free Library) at a community-wide ceremony that includes singing carols, sipping mulled cider, and the countdown to the lighting of the tree. Followed by the annual Christmas Stroll through the Borough, when local merchants keep their shops open late and welcome visitors with hors d'oeuvres and eggnog and other goodies.

The SVIA also places lights and seasonal decoration around Cannon Square.
