Festival of Trees Wraps with Essex Holiday Stroll
This year, 25 holiday trees, decorated by local artisans, merchants, and businesses, are spread through historic Essex Village and individual trees can be won via a raffle. Tickets can be purchased for a chance to win each of these beautifully decorated trees. The trees will be located in shops and the Tree Gallery at 3 Main Street through Saturday, Dec. 10.
On Friday, Dec. 9, from 5 to 8 p.m., Essex merchants will host “Sip, Shop, and Stroll” as part of the Essex Holiday Stroll. The Tree Gallery will have wine and cheese, while shops will have special sales along with refreshments. The stroll will continue on Saturday, Dec. 10 with special activities all afternoon and the drawing of winners at 4 p.m.
Proceeds from the Festival of Trees will benefit Child & Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut.
