You’ll also find The Blue Chill on the front lawn! Grab an ice pop before or during the parade! It’s a holiday, pops are perfect for a warm morning ahead of us!

Let’s do it!! Today, we are delighted to kick off our TENTH season of operations.

While today technically isn’t the day we hoisted the Open Flag at our World HQ in Brooklin for the first time, it IS the day we shift to EVERYDAY HOURS in BROOKLIN for the year!

That’s right, the Open Flag now flies 10a-5p, daily through the end of 2026!

Our Blue Hill location will continue with its Almost Everyday™️ schedule of 10a-5p, Monday-Saturday.

THANK YOU for your enthusiastic support of all that we offer and all that we do. We can only hope that you have enjoyed the Leaf & Anna adventure as much as we have! Here’s to the season ahead! 🍻
