Holiday lights are set to return to Sound Beach Avenue this month, and the Old Greenwich Merchants Association is asking residents to help keep them on through February.
Local merchants will cover the electricity bill, while donations to the Lights on Sound Beach campaign will help pay to install and maintain the lights on trees along the avenue. The association is bringing back the display after last winter’s community-supported effort.

The association also announced plans to plant a permanent evergreen at the Old Greenwich firehouse in time for First Light. The annual celebration is scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 5, from 5:00pm to 8:00pm along Sound Beach Avenue, with caroling, fire truck rides and a tree lighting at the
firehouse.
