Heights & Lights returns to Stamford Downtown on Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 5:00 pm, when Santa and his friends will once again make their grand rappell down the 22 stories of Stamford’s Landmark Building. Rappelling Santa is presented this year by First Niagara and Reckson, A Division of SL Green Realty Corp. Enjoy a spectacular Fireworks Display and watch the exciting descent of Guest Rappellers, Brian Cashman, GM NY Yankees and Rick Reichmuth, Meteorologist, FOX News Channel.
After the rappel, Santa’s busy holiday schedule will take him straight up Bedford Street to Latham Park where he will join the Stamford Community at First Niagara’s Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony with the Activities for Kids Chorus Directed by Jerry Pia. The Holiday Tree was donated by Bartlett Tree Company.
