Welcome to the 10th Annual Fairfield Holiday “Shop & Stroll” on Thursday, December 8, 2022 from 6-9PM.

Participating shops will stay open late and offer an assortment of hors d’oeuvres and

seasonal refreshments. Traveling carolers and musicians from local schools will fill the

air with holiday cheer.

“This is a great opportunity to support our local businesses and get your holiday

shopping done while enjoying a fun night out with family or friends,” said First

Selectwoman Kupchick.

Fairfield Chamber of Commerce President Beverly Balaz added,

“The Chamber of Commerce is happy to be partnering with the Town on this festive event as it will give our businesses another opportunity to open their doors to the community, meet new customers from surrounding towns and together, help celebrate the holiday season with a wonderful shopping experience!”

First Selectwoman Kupchick also called upon residents and non-residents alike to take

advantage of special shopping opportunities on “Small Business Saturday” immediately

following the Thanksgiving holiday on Saturday, November 26th. The Town and

Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a welcome station on Sherman Green from 10AM

until 2PM on Small Business Saturday, at which shoppers may receive a complimentary

“Shop Small” canvas shopping bag, courtesy of American Express, as well as other free

goodies, while supplies last. Small Business Saturday started in 2010 as a way to celebrate

and support small businesses.

First Selectwoman Kupchick remarked, “The Town is pleased to serve as a neighborhood

champion for this event. ’Small Business Saturday’ is a terrific opportunity to kick off the

holiday season by remembering the small businesses that help make Fairfield special,

and we would encourage all to ‘Shop Small’ throughout the year, but especially during

this festive time of year.”

Businesses that wish to participate or sponsor the Holiday Shop & Stroll event should

contact Community and Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart at (203) 256-

3120 by close of business on Monday, November 21, 2022.
