Holiday Stroll + Tree Lighting

About this event

Winter Wonders at The Shops at Farmington Valley

November 21 | The Shops at Farmington Valley, Canton

Sparkle. Sip. Stroll. Spark the season.

Every great holiday season has a first night. This is ours. Winter Wonders returns, transforming The Shops at Farmington Valley into a New England wonderland of twinkle lights, carols, and cocoa, with your neighbors and friends.

As the afternoon glows, we gather to light our grand holiday tree, brought to life by a very special guest. You’ll want to be standing right there.
