Fairfield Town Hall Tree Lighting Details Announced

FAIRFIELD, CT — Fairfield’s annual tree-lighting ceremony to kick off the holiday season will take place on Friday, Dec. 2 on the Town Hall Green.

“Gather with your family and countdown as we light the 90-foot tall Norway spruce, the tallest living tree that gets lit at Christmas time in Connecticut,” organizers wrote on the Parks & Recreation website. “It was one of three trees donated by the Daughters of the American Revolution in December 1918.”
