About this event
Ivoryton Illuminations sets the entire village of Ivoryton glowing for a beloved community celebration of festive lights, cheerful music and holiday surprises around every corner. Santa arrives at the Ivoryton Playhouse for free visits, and the evening culminates with the lighting of one of Connecticut's largest living Christmas trees. New pixel light trees, towering displays of color and motion with synchronized effects, debut among the village lights.
Our take: Keep the car radio on 101.5 FM while you're in the village; thousands of the lights are synced to the music.
Good to know
Sat 5:30-8pm; Santa arrives 6pm
