Small businesses are ramping up for a busy holiday season, and several vendors are coming together for this year's Stratfield Stop and Stroll in Fairfield.

About 30 small businesses are participating in this year's 5th annual Stop and Stroll at Lincoln Park, which continues to expand every year.

Organizer and local business owner Brooke LaLumiere tells News 12 the concept for the outdoor holiday market was born during the pandemic and helps expose local businesses who may not have brick and mortars.

"It was the Christmas season of 2020 where I thought, let’s just set up safely on the neighborhood front lawns and people can shop at their own risk,” she said.

Today's Stop and Stroll will end around 2 pm.
