2019 Holiday Lighting Ceremony and Santa's Schedule

See Fairfield’s square come to life with holiday cheer! The Annual Holiday Lighting Ceremony will be held on Friday, November 29th, at Central Park in Fairfield. To commence the illumination and the holiday season, the Fairfield Area Chamber of Commerce organizes this festive tradition with the lights being turned on at 6:00pm.

Special thanks to our Holiday Lighting Ceremony Sponsor, Everybody's Whole Foods!

The Fairfield High School Choir will set the mood by singing Holiday music at 5:30pm. The Chamber Christmas Committee chooses one citizen, whom best exemplifies the holiday spirit, and presents them with the opportunity to throw the switch on the lights and for the season. This citizen will be announced at 5:55pm so the lights can be turned on at 6:00pm sharp. After arriving to town as the lights come on, Santa can be found in the Kandy Kane House listening to the children share their hopes for the holiday season. There will also be horse drawn wagon rides around the square for the kids. An evening not to be missed!
