Ivoryton Illuminations Set for Tonight
The entire village of Ivoryton will be participating in this Holiday Extravaganza with carol singing, Santa's Grotto, Holiday Bazaar, and culminating with the arrival of Santa and the lighting of the states' largest living Christmas Tree at 6:30pm. Ivoryton will be lighting up the holiday with over 300,000 lights throughout the village!
Family activities include writing letters to Santa and cards to our soldiers at the Ivoryton Library; Christmas Craft making and visits with Santa in the Playhouse (bring your camera if you want a picture!); a Holiday Bazaar featuring community and local church groups in the Fire House; Six Summit Gallery is featuring 100 pieces of fine art for gift giving (and free poster or book with purchase) as well as special events at The Ivoryton Tavern, Blue Hound Cookery and Taproom, The Copper Beech, Elephant Crossing, Hammered Edge, The Ivoryton Inn and Porky Pete's BBQ & Brew. Music will be provided by The Sweet Adeline's and other local musicians who will be playing at various locations throughout the village.
Free parking will be available at the First Congregational Church and The Copper Beech Inn with a shuttle bus service to the village. The Illuminations will shine brightly through January 5th and visitors can tune their car radios to 101.5FM and watch as the lights dance to the music!
This event is supported entirely by volunteers and sponsors including Essex Lions, Essex Savings Bank, Valley Courier, Riggio & Sons General Contractors, Wilcox Tree Service and Essex Rotary Club.
If you want to experience some real Christmas cheer, then come and join the party in Ivoryton, the brightest village in Connecticut!
