FAIRFIELD, CT — Make Music Fairfield announced it will host the winter edition of its community music event, The Solstice Stroll, on Sunday, December 21, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., celebrating the winter solstice with song.
The event will feature a musical promenade through the heart of Fairfield’s Cultural District, beginning at the Fairfield Theatre Company’s StageOne Box Office. Participants will stop at the Sacred Heart University Community Theatre and the Main Library before concluding at the Sherman Green Gazebo, where holiday-themed music will be performed throughout the walk.
