rain or shine! Wakeman Town Farm holiday tree lighting 12.1.23 - a family tradition open to all!

You’re invited to the Annual Wakeman Town Farm Holiday Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, Dec. 1 from 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m. Rain or shine!

It’s a festive, fun and free event for the whole family, thanks to our sponsor, Freudigman & Billings. Enjoy free home-baked cookies, sweet treats and hot chocolate from The Porch & Sweet P Bakery, and warm up around our roaring bonfire. As is our tradition, we’re featuring a variety of local school musicians playing some Christmas and Chanukkah favorites. Join us as First Selectwoman Jennifer Tooker and Bill Constantino (a Wakeman family member) light up the Wakeman tree to kick off the season and keep a generations-old family tradition alive for the community! 

We would also like to extend a special thanks to Irv Daskim from AAA Tree Service for stringing the lights and making sure the Wakeman tree shines bright all holiday season!

Free and open to the public. This is an outdoor, family friendly event. Dress warmly.

Special Note: We care about our neighbors in need.

Kindly consider bringing an unwrapped toy for our donation box to the Al’s Angels Toy Drive.

Also: Staples High’s chapter Habitat for Humanity will be onsite selling baked goods to raise money to help build a home in Bridgeport. Please help these amazing students reach their goal of raising $1000!
