50 years of selling Christmas trees for charity in New Canaan

Exchange Club of New Canaan opens Christmas Tree and Wreath Sale for charity in Kiwanis Park

The Exchange Club is holding its annual Christmas Tree Sale benefiting local charities at Kiwanis Park. Not only is this a great opportunity to avoid crowds and buy your Christmas tree and wreaths right in New Canaan, but also a fun event for your children as well. Proceeds go to the awareness and prevention of child abuse and many other local charities.

The Exchange Club transforms Kiwanis Park into a Christmas village. We'll have over 1,300 trees including Fraser Firs and Balsams - along with a variety of wreaths, roping, tree stands and other seasonal merchandise.

Santa will be in Kiwanis Park on weekends 11am-3pm. Bring your kids to meet Santa Claus and find out whether they have been naughty or nice! We have a mailbox for letters addressed to Santa and Santa personally replies (don't forget to include return address).
