The holiday season in New Canaan is a special time, and one of the most cherished elements is the sparkling transformation of our downtown shopping district. From the week of Thanksgiving until mid-January, the professional installation of beautiful lights creates a magical atmosphere, welcoming shoppers, visitors, and residents alike. These lights are not a gift from an outside entity; they are a tradition—a gift that New Canaanites give to each other. They connect our community with the commerce that sustains our local businesses, fostering a festive spirit that truly embodies the season.
