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.
