FAIRFIELD, CT — (From Fairfield University): The most wonderful time of the year is here and Fairfield University will add to the merriment with its annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. outside the Egan Chapel of St. Ignatius Loyola. The event is free and open to the public.
Historically a student event, the University is welcoming the greater Fairfield community to help spread the Stag cheer far and wide. In addition to the tree lighting, Lucas, Santa, and Mrs. Claus will be joining the fun for pictures, University singing groups, The Bensonians and Sweet Harmony, will perform their songs of the season, and hot chocolate and cookies will be available to warm spirits.
Additionally, the community is invited to attend Fairfield’s Men’s Basketball vs. Oakland game in Alumni Hall. The first 100 attendees will receive Santa hats. Tickets for the game are available at fairfieldstags.com.
