The 13th Annual Greenwich Reindeer Festival & Santa’s Workshop presented by Jenny Allen/Compass Real Estate has returned to the “North Pole on North Street”, Sam Bridge Nursery & Greenhouses, in Greenwich, November 26 through December 24. Visit Santa’s live reindeer and have photos taken with Santa for a magical holiday experience and cherished family memories. This year’s event will also celebrate our healthcare and frontline heroes from Greenwich Hospital.

A large Appreciation Art Mural (20 by 7 feet) sponsored by C. Parker Gallery and created by professional artist, Rick Garcia, was unveiled after Santa’s arrival to say “thank you” to Greenwich Hospital’s healthcare workers. 

“Greenwich Hospital is very excited to participate in this year’s holiday event,” says Diane Kelly, President of Greenwich Hospital. “We are honored to be the recipient of the Appreciation Art Mural sponsored by C. Parker Gallery to thank our hospital staff. COVID-19 challenged our team over the past 18 months, but the Greenwich Hospital staff courageously and compassionately cared for our patients and families throughout and greatly deserve this wonderful recognition.”

During the event, the public is invited to write messages of gratitude on the mural. After the month-long event, the Art Mural will ultimately make its home at Greenwich Hospital.
