Auerfarm Hosts Free “Santa on the Farm” Event for Greater Hartford Community on Dec 6, 2025
The 4-H Education Center at Auerfarm is delighted to host its annual “Santa on the Farm” celebration on Saturday, December 6, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This beloved, free community event invites families to step into the magic of the season and experience the joy of the farm in winter. You are warmly invited to ring in the 2025 holiday season right here in Bloomfield, CT.
One town. Three festive destinations. Hundreds of ways to spark joy.
Every year, on the first Saturday of December, Santa takes a special trip to Bloomfield to share greetings, cheer, and wonder with guests of all ages. Families can LEARN about life on the farm, EXPLORE holiday-themed activities, and CONNECT with each other in a cozy, welcoming setting.
At Auerfarm, children can visit and take photos with Santa, meet our friendly farm animals, get a refreshment from our hot cocoa bar, enjoy kid-friendly arts and crafts, and browse our beautiful Balsam Fir Christmas trees for sale. The event is free, though donations are greatly appreciated and support Auerfarm’s educational mission. If you can bring a non-perishable food item, we would love to donate them to the Bloomfield Food Bank to help those in need.
Auerfarm is honored to partner once again with the Bloomfield CT Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Bloomfield to offer a full day of community celebration.
