As the most wonderful time of the year descends upon families and friends young and old, Fairfield University will add to the merriment with the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Monday, December 6 at 6:15 p.m. outside the Egan Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola. The event is free and open to the public.

The University will welcome the greater Fairfield community with hot chocolate and cookies to warm spirits. University singing groups, The Bensonians and Sweet Harmony, will perform songs of the season. Lucas and Santa will join the fun for pictures, and there will be a Fairfield Holiday Pop-Up Shop with gift essentials like ornaments. The Student Alumni Association will be on hand to collect donations for the Teddy Bears with Love Drive. Bring a new teddy bear with the tags on, to be donated to local hospitals.
