More “Elf Stops” have been added to local businesses around the square, where various crafts and activities will be happening. Business are also invited to participate in our new “Tree Gala”, in which they decorate their own 6 foot artificial tree (perhaps to showcase their business!) and line the steps up the Town Hall. We still have our traditional “Gingerbread House” contest, but this year it will be inside the Town Hall. At 6pm our Festival of Lights parade will be heading down Clinton street with special guests, Princess Elsa and Santa, followed by the lighting of the town square tree. SRSLY concludes the night with a Christmas movie showing in the warmth of the Town Hall. This festival is FREE family fun and made possible by support from The Village of Stockbridge, the DDA, the Stockbridge Area Chamber of Commerce and Chamber members. Special thanks to all of our local businesses who are participating this year! Have questions? Contact Kristie Brewster—517.480.7103 or stockbridgeareachamber@gmail.com
