17th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop presented by Jenny Allen & Kristen Studwell, Compass Real Estate at Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses
November 28 – December 24, 2025
Santa and his three LIVE reindeer return to Greenwich for the 17th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop presented by Jenny Allen & Kristen Studwell, Compass Real Estate, the “North Pole on North Street,” Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses, 437 North Street, Greenwich, Connecticut, from November 28 to December 24, 2025.
The cherished town tradition continues for the seventeenth 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 & Kristen Studwell 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 nonprofit organization based in Greenwich that serves the entire state of Connecticut. A Kids In Crisis Giving Tree will also be available for people to support their important mission. Greenwich Braces returns as the Reindeer Stable Sponsor. 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. Still, for an added incentive to visit Santa with your dog when the lines aren’t as long on Saturdays, you’ll receive a Doggy Gift Bag sponsored by Cornell University Veterinary Specialists, Get Joy Food and PetLabCo., every Monday – Friday throughout the event.
To recognize the seventeenth year, the event we will once again be “CELEBRATING FAMILY TRADITIONS.” At the top of the list for hundreds of families is visiting Santa’s live reindeer and taking 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 16 years.
Help celebrate seventeen years by sharing your family’s past Greenwich Reindeer Festival Photos with Santa. With your permission, the event will post them on their Instagram and Facebook pages. They’re excited to feature many different families and what a fun family tradition like the Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop means to your family. Please email the event to tamara@tmk-eventmarketing.com. They look forward to hearing from you and your family!
The community is invited to Sam Bridge for “We’re Back Party Days” on Friday, November 28, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., when Santa’s Workshop officially opens for photos with Santa, and the party continues on Saturday, November 29, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. While waiting for the reindeer to arrive on Friday afternoon, everyone can enjoy special refreshments, balloon artists, live music entertainment, Rising Starr Horse Rescue, food trucks, specialty vendors, and many other fun activities, which will also continue all day Saturday!

Vinyl Wednesday
2026-02-18 17:00 - 2026-02-25 20:00, 2026-02-25 17:00 - 2026-03-04 20:00 | Jazz on Main, 37 South Moger Avenue, Mount Kisco, NY, 10549, United States
Vinyl Wednesday – A listening lounge in one of the best-sounding rooms around.
Jazz on Main is known first and foremost for its sound. Designed as an exceptional acoustic room for live music, the space reveals detail, warmth, and depth that most bars simply can’t.
On Wednesdays, we turn that room into a vinyl listening lounge — no live band, no cover, just carefully selected records played in a space designed for sound.
WEDNESDAY HAPPY HOUR

Doors open at 5:00 p.m.
Happy Hour from5:00–8:00 p.mm.
A relaxed start to the night, designed for lingering.
Happy Hour Specials: Basic cocktails – $10, $2 off all house cocktails
No cover.
No minimum.
Just good drinks, good sound, and time to unwind.

WHY THIS ROOM MATTERS. Most bars play music. Very few are built for it.
Jazz on Main was designed as a listening room — controlled acoustics, balanced reflections, and a layout that lets sound fill the space without overpowering conversation. Vinyl Wednesday exists because this room deserves to be used — even when there’s no band on stage.
WHAT IT IS

No live music
No cover charge
Vinyl records played with intention
A room tuned for clarity, warmth, and depth
Full bar and kitchen open
This isn’t background music. It’s music presented in a room that respects it.

THE MUSIC (GENRE-OPEN, QUALITY-DRIVEN). Vinyl Wednesday isn’t limited to jazz. You may hear:

Jazz (classic, modern, vocal, instrumental)
Soul & R&B
Funk & groove
Blues
Latin & Afro-Cuban
Classic rock & singer-songwriters

The rule isn’t genre. The rule is: it has to sound good in this room.
THE VIBE

Lights low, not dark.
Volume present, not loud.
Conversation flows without competing with the music.
Come early for happy hour. Stay late if the room pulls you in.

Jazz on Main is a neighborhood cocktail bar, listening room, and live jazz venue. Vinyl Wednesday is a weekly listening lounge at Jazz on Main, a cocktail bar and live music venue in Mt. Kisco, Westchester County, NY. Open every Wednesday with happy hour from 5–8 p.m.

Following the workshop, enjoy a guided brewery tour at Brooklyn Kura, where you’ll learn about the sake-making process and the role of craftsmanship in every pour. The experience includes a complimentary taste of Brooklyn Kura’s freshly pressed sake.
All cups will be professionally fired and glazed and ready for pickup approximately four weeks after the event.
