Thank you to our 2024

Winter Wonderland on the Wolf Host:
Familiar Grounds

Mark your calendars for this very merry Winter Wonderland on the Wolf event scheduled on Friday, December 6th, 2024 right in the heart of downtown New London. We transform the city into a magical Winter Wonderland.

The New London Area Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to experience the magic of the season of the Winter Wonderland on the Wolf hosted by Familiar Grounds Coffee Shop. Sponsorships are available for this event and there are tons of ways the business community can get involved with this event. Decorate your business and register for the Light Up New London Map. Register for the Holiday Hop Scavenger Hunt. Sponsor the Winter Wonderland lights display. Register for the parade on Friday night. Donate items for the Santa Bags that go out to children when they visit Santa. Or we are always looking for volunteers to make this the most magical night for families. Find volunteer opportunities on the website.

LIGHT UP NEW LONDON – Get your Christmas lights up before December 1st and register your address to be added to the Light Up New London Map. Families will be able to download the map and tour the Christmas lights throughout the area. All homes and businesses are encouraged to get their decorations up and register by December 4th, 2024 for families to enjoy through the holiday season. Registration will close December 4th to give us time to create the map. Find maps on our Facebook page, in the Tourism Center or click here for paper copy and here for google maps.
SELFIE WITH ELFIE – New This Year: Take a Selfie with Elfie! There will be multiple Chamber Elves placed throughout the community at different businesses and organizations. Check back for a list of participating members after we get everyone registered. If you spot a Chamber Elf (must have Chamber hoodie), follow the instructions on the sign that will be placed nearby and go into a drawing for a chance to WIN $100 Chamber Bucks. Chamber Bucks are just like gift cards that can be redeemed at participating Chamber members. It’s simple and fun for the whole family. December 6th – 15th. Winner announced December 16th.
WINTER WONDERLAND – Get lost in the Christmas displays by Longevity Nutrition on December 6th, 2024 featuring a twisting trail of holiday bliss, twinkling lights and Christmas trees. Listen to the Christmas carolers while sipping hot cocoa.
PARADE – New This Year: The parade will kick off from its usual ending point, welcoming back downtown with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony just before the parade begins on State St. The parade starts at 5:45 p.m. The parade will start on State St. and continue down N. Water St. towards Pearl St. and participants will exit on Wolf River Ave.
ATTENTION – New London community! We’re excited to announce that the best parade entry will win a $50 chamber buck from the New London Chamber of Commerce! All floats will be voted on during the parade, and our very own Mayor Mark will select the winner. We can’t wait to see all the amazing parade entries this year. Get creative, have fun, and show your community spirit! Mark your calendars and get ready to shine!
SANTA – Visit with Santa at Longevity Nutrition and grab a Santa Bag filled with goodies. Don’t forget to bring a letter for Santa if you wish and leave it in his Christmas mailbox. His elves have assured us that Santa will reply to every letter. Please include a return address.
REINDEER BOOGIE – After the parade if you don’t want to wait in line for Santa, walk across the lit Pearl St. bridge to join in the Reindeer Boogie at Familiar Grounds hosted by the Parks & Recreation Department.
WAGON RIDES – New This Year Catch a sponsored wagon ride between Longevity Nutrition and Familiar Grounds Friday evening between 5-7:30 p.m.
