A new addition to this year’s festivities will be a special holiday performance by the New England Academy of Dance at 4:45 p.m.
Santa will make his grand arrival at 5:00 p.m., followed by the lighting of the tree. Darien Sport Shop President Gina Zangrillo will be on hand to help Santa light the tree.
Darien Sport Shop will kick off its holiday festivities Black Friday weekend with complimentary refreshments and music to welcome everyone back home for the holidays! A coat drive will be held to support Person-to-Person on Friday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Nov. 26.
