Bringing of the Greens
Traditional winter festivals included “hanging of the greens” or “bringing in the greens”. This is when fresh-cut greenery and branches are brought in to celebrate the harvest and the winter solstice. The “Greens” will be used to decorate our beautiful storefronts and homes. Volunteers and the public are welcome to join in and help.
