In partnership with the Greenwich social services agency Family Centers, the Old Greenwich Merchants Association will begin the evening with the lighting of hundreds of luminaries along the Binney Park walkways.

The festive evening will include extended shopping hours in the stores, horse-drawn carriage rides, holiday carolers and musicians, holiday treats given away by merchants as well as wine tastings. Meet Greenwich Patch staff members at Upper Crust Bagels, where free Patch gear will be available for revelers.
