Santa and his three live reindeer return to Greenwich for the 17th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop, presented by Jenny Allen and Kristen Studwell of Compass Real Estate, at Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses, in Greenwich, from November 28 to December 24.

Affectionately known as the “North Pole on North Street,” this cherished town tradition invites families to meet Santa’s reindeer, take photos with Santa, and enjoy the festive Santa’s Workshop, sponsored by Greenwich Pediatric Dental Group. Families can visit the Reindeer Coloring Station, sponsored by Compass, and the Letter Writing to Santa Station, sponsored by Greenwich Pediatric Dental Group.

A portion of all photo proceeds benefits Kids In Crisis, a nonprofit organization based in Greenwich that supports children and families across Connecticut. Visitors can also contribute through the onsite Kids In Crisis Giving Tree.

Dogs on leashes are welcome for photos with Santa, and those visiting Monday through Friday will receive a Doggy Gift Bag, courtesy of Cornell University Veterinary Specialists, Get Joy Food, and PetLabCo.

Hours for photos with Santa are Mondays through Fridays, noon to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Sam Bridge is closed on Sundays.
