Patio Planters President Joey DiFatta cites 2023 Caroling in Jackson Square was a momentous occasion. “Our nonprofit organization has sponsored the event as our gift to the community since 1946, relying on fundraisers like our Holiday Home Tour to generate revenue needed to cover multiple expenses involved in producing the event,” said DiFatta. “There’s nothing more rewarding than looking out across Jackson Square and seeing the joy and camaraderie that this event brings to visitors and locals alike. Caroling in Jackson Square truly represents the spirit of the season,” added DiFatta.
