Join us for the beloved Holiday Festival & Parade of Lights in historic downtown Saco on Friday, December 2nd & Saturday, December 3rd! 

We have a lot of surprises planned for you with many traditions, as well as new additions. This year we will have a trolley running down Main Street with stops along the way to see horse drawn carriage rides, shopping, face painting, food and fun.

Stop at the Saco Museums 'Festival of Trees' to marvel at the 20-30 highly decorated trees and wreaths creating a magical winter wonderland!

The evening is then completed by the wondrous "Parade of Lights."

This year will be bigger than ever and we are anticipating more than 80 beautiful entries. In years past we had over 7,000 patrons on our Main Street celebrating the joy of the season with family, friends and neighbors!

We'll see you there!
