Join us for a magical evening kicking off the holidays in New England’s Best Christmas Town! 🎄

🗓 Friday, December 5
🚗 Carpool from Portland — leaving ~4:30 PM (parking In Kennebunkk can be pricey and challenging)

🎅 What’s Happening:

  • Tree Lighting Ceremony in Dock Square — 5:30 PM: Kick off Prelude with holiday caroling by the local choir, then watch the big holiday tree glow
  • Christmas Candlelight Market at White Columns — 5:30–8:00 PM: A cozy evening artisan craft fair under a heated tent — perfect for holiday shopping, local gifts, and festive browsing. Free & open to the public.
  • Hot drinks, street-side sweets, artisan stalls, and that “Hallmark-movie” feel

Dress warm and wear comfortable walking shoes — lots of strolling, shopping, and photo-ops among the lights!

Plan for a relaxed pace: we’ll stroll, shop, browse, soak in the lights and holiday mood, maybe grab a warm drink or a bite, and enjoy the night together.

Bring spending money if you plan to browse the Candlelight Market or other artisan shops.
