16th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop presented by Jenny Allen at Compass
November 29 @ 9:00 am - December 24 @ 6:00 pm
Santa and his three LIVE reindeer return to Greenwich for the 16th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop presented by Jenny Allen at Compass Real Estate, the “North Pole on North Street,” Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses, 437 North Street, Greenwich, Connecticut, from November 29 to December 24, 2024. The cherished town tradition continues for the sixteenth consecutive year at this expansive nursery where visitors can have their photo taken with Santa, meet the reindeer and also enjoy Santa’s Workshop sponsored by Greenwich Pediatric Dental Group, which provides more space for families. Guests can enjoy the “Reindeer Coloring Station” sponsored by Jenny Allen at Compass and “Letter Writing to Santa Station” sponsored by Greenwich Pediatric Dental Group,” while waiting in line for their photo with Santa. A portion of all photos with Santa will be donated to Kids In Crisis, a non-profit organization based in Greenwich, but serves all of Connecticut. A Kids In Crisis Giving Tree will also be available for people to support their important mission. We’re excited to welcome the new Reindeer Stable Sponsor, Greenwich Braces. This all takes place just minutes from downtown Greenwich. Parking is free. Children, adults, and all dogs (on leashes) can have their photo taken with Santa at Santa’s Workshop. PLEASE BRING YOUR DOG FOR PHOTOS WITH SANTA ANYTIME WE’RE OPEN, but for an added incentive to visit Santa with your dog when the lines aren’t as long as Saturday, you’ll receive a Doggy Gift Bag sponsored by Cornell University Veterinary Specialists every Monday – Friday throughout the event.
To recognize the 16th year, the event we will once again be “CELEBRATING FAMILY TRADITIONS.” Top of the list for hundreds of families is visiting Santa’s LIVE Reindeer and having family and pet Photos with Santa at beautiful Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses. The unique holiday attraction has become an important family tradition for thousands of families over the past 15 years.
Help celebrate sixteen years by sharing your families past Greenwich Reindeer Festival Photos with Santa. With your permission, the event will post them on their Instagram and Facebook pages.
