Join Miss Meg for holiday stories at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts' Fourth Annual Holiday Enchantment and Tree Lighting! Stories will start at 3:15 pm and repeat at 3:45 pm.

Adults and children are invited to gather on the campus of Lyme Academy on Lyme Street from 3-5 pm for an afternoon of festive outdoor and indoor activities. These will include art demonstrations, music by the Old Lyme Town Band and the Lyme-Old Lyme High School Select Singers, children’s events, visits and selfies with Santa, opportunities for holiday shopping, and holiday craft-making for all ages.

A s’mores galore station, coffee, and hot cocoa will also be available for all to enjoy. If the weather is chilly, guests will have an opportunity to warm up at one of the many fire pits on site.

Young artists are also invited to make their own festive ornaments to “Deck the Walls” for the holidays, with help from the Lyme Art Association.

At 4:30 pm, a tree lighting will be led by the Town of Old Lyme’s First Selectwoman, Martha Shoemaker. This will be followed by caroling around the tree.
