The City of New London is proud to announce the commencement of its holiday season with a calendar of events celebrating the diverse array of faiths and culture in New London.
November 29th Christmas Tree Lighting-Join us at Parade Plaza between 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm for the Christmas Tree Lighting event. Experience the enchantment of Christmas carols, and the Shoreline Ringers Bell Choir. Witness the grand entrance of Santa, as he parades down Banks Street in a brilliantly illuminated Jeep. And don’t forget to capture the special moment with Santa pictures after the tree lighting at The Golden Owl!
This year’s Christmas tree is adorned with a special addition: we’ve collaborated with a local artist to craft unique ornaments. Join us for the Christmas tree lighting event when these exquisite ornaments will be revealed.
