CHRISTMAS AT THE BURR

is the realization of a dream...

...shared by Meghan McCloat, Liz Harder Gaonach and Toni Zeleny to bring an annual holiday festival back to Fairfield's historic Burr mansion.

Now in its second year, Christmas at the Burr includes some of the beloved traditions established by the Fairfield Christmas Tree Festival previously held at the Burr, along with many new ones we think you'll love just as much.

Most importantly, Christmas at the Burr is a fundraiser with a different local charity as its beneficiary each year. And Giving Fairfield Inc is the registered 501(c)(3) charity we founded in 2025 to make that possible.

Giving Fairfield's mission is to bring our neighbors and area business owners together for fun, community-building events that support local non-profits.

Along with the generous, committed, creative members of our board, we hope Christmas at the Burr will be a cherished holiday tradition our community looks forward to for many years to come.
