'Tis the Season as
CityCenter Danbury celebrates Light the Lights, its
annual Holiday Gathering to welcome Santa, on Saturday, November 30th, 5:00 pm
to 7:00 pm, on Library Plaza. The fun filled event is always anticipated and
full of good cheer.
This event features music, dance,
cookies, hot chocolate, and Santa's arrival by fire engine. Best of all it's FREE and children of all ages
are invited. For information, visit www.citycenterdanbury.com or
call (203) 792 1711.
Light the Lights begins at 5:00pm
with music provided by Summit Entertainment. Santa's arrival in one hour - to
the expectations of little ones, their family and friends - will continue with a
special performance of "Hot Chocolate" from the 2004 motion
picture The Polar Express that was performed in the film by Tom
Hanks.
Carols and pop holiday songs will
follow, performed by Saint Joseph's School Children's Choir under the direction
of Jennifer Doherty. Regal Brass will encourage a sing-along as they play
"Jingle Bells," "Silent Night," "We Wish You a Merry
Christmas," and many more holiday favorites.
At 5:45pm, Mayor Mark Boughton will
lead a countdown to Light the Lights as
Santa arrives soon thereafter by fire engine. From 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, children
may visit Santa at Library Plaza. Don’t forget your camera for memorable photos.
Free cookies and hot chocolate will be provided in front of the Danbury Public
Library.
In addition to Light the Lights,

Musical." To round out the fun,
