Newport has a Christmas Stroll. So does Ridgefield.
Why not Westport?
Great idea! So “06880” (the blog) is sponsoring the first-ever Christmas Stroll for 06880 (the town).
The date is Saturday, December 11. From 4 to 7 p.m., downtown will be even more festive than usual.
There’s face painting for kids, and an ugly sweater contest for everyone.
Santa will hang out by Savvy + Grace. He’ll pose for photos with kids, who can also drop off self-addressed letters to him. They’ll be mailed back, with a personal note.
Merchants will offer special surprises from 4 to 7 p.m. during the Stroll too. Here are a few:
