WinterFest 2026

The tree goes on at the end of the afternoon, and Greenwood Ave spends the five hours before it getting ready.

WinterFest is the Bethel CT Chamber of Commerce's winter street event, held down Greenwood Ave on the Friday after Thanksgiving. There is music and caroling, horse drawn wagon rides, hot chocolate and soup, a meet and greet with Santa, and the tree lighting itself to finish.

When. Friday 27 November, two in the afternoon until seven in the evening.

Good to know. The chamber does not publish a charge for this. Dress for standing about outside in late November. Questions go to the chamber on (203) 743-6500 or bethelchamberct@gmail.com.

Where to go. Greenwood Ave, Bethel.
