Christmas at Hitchcock

BRIMFIELD – Christmas at Hitchcock returns on Saturday, December 13th from 1 to 5pm. The popular all ages event will include live music, cookie decorating & crafting, games, face painting, and more. The event is free of charge and there is no registration required. Attendees should dress warmly as the event is held both indoors and outdoors.

Live music will be performed from the building’s balcony by The Voice’s Noah Lis and seasoned musician and Hitchcock’s new guitar and piano instructor Jim Perry. Listeners can keep warm sipping from free pours of delicious hot chocolate and coffee. Chestnuts and marshmallows will also be roasted to share with attendees.

Ice carver Mike Rondeau will be doing a live ice carving during the event. 4-H will be bringing Phoenix the pony for attendees to greet and pet. There will be a station set up for making holiday swags with local greens donated by the newly reopened Hollow Brook Farm.

Inside, attendees can decorate cookies, make Christmas crafts, play “reindeer games”, and visit with Santa (photos are welcome).

“Christmas at Hitchcock feels like a family Christmas party combined with a larger scale holiday event,” says Executive Director Cindy Skowyra. “Our space is so much like a home, yet we have all the festivities of an event – it’s the best of both.”

Attendees can also bring a donation to a toy collection through the Brimfield Police Stuff-the-Cruiser initiative supporting local children in need. For information on how to donate, contact Brimfieldpoliceassociation@gmail.com. Donations to Hitchcock’s 2025 Friends Campaign, which aims to raise $15,000 toward operating expenses through individual donations, are also warmly welcomed.
