    The highly anticipated New Canaan Holiday Stroll features the arrival of Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus who help the town officially kick-off the holiday season!

    Residents of all ages and backgrounds gather on New Canaan’s Elm Street to enjoy the festivities including singing Christmas carols and enjoying musical performances by the Students of the Studio Performing Arts Conservatory, The New Canaan Dance Academy, and the Magical Music Singers. The entertainment continues as a cast of holiday characters such as Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch and of course Rudolph spread holiday cheer throughout the village.

    There will be treats galore. The firepit will be glowing at the intersection of South and Elm with s’mores thanks to the Kiwanis Club of New Canaan. And don’t miss the Waffle Cabin in front of the playhouse for that once a year treat! Everyone warms up with delicious seasonal beverages provided by local merchants as guests shop.

    Surprises can be found on Main and Forest Streets as well. To add to the magical atmosphere, light up holiday trinkets and garb will be available for sale during the event.

    Finally, enjoy the Ginger Bread House Tour sponsored by Halstead Property which has become a New Canaan tradition for families to decorate and create together. The houses will be on display in store windows throughout town during the month of December.

    Admission to the Holiday Stroll is free.

    Christmas Eve Caroling at God's Acre

    Tuesday, December 24 at 6:30pm 

    The Carol Singing on God’s Acre on Christmas Eve is a New Canaan tradition where everyone gathers to sing Christmas Carols.  Since 1919, the New Canaan community has gathered on God’s Acre on Christmas Eve to sing carols around the town Christmas Tree — a tradition begun by John E. Hersam, who founded the New Canaan Advertiser in 1908, and other members of the Town Band (the bandstand and band are at the top of the hill).
