Watch the Merry & Bright Light Parade as it winds its way through Wiscasset Village with precious cargo, SANTA! A special car drops Santa off at his local Workshop where he greets children and listens to their holiday wishes. All families welcome!

After a chat with Santa, kids are invited to warm up with hot cocoa and special treats and make a few hand-made holiday decorations. Outside, Santa’s woolly sheep are calling for attention; they love gentle pets and back rubs. They’ll be located near a festive back drop where families can take family photos.

Nearby, find s’mores from the fire pit; but if those aren’t enough to satisfy appetites, purchase dinner from food truck, Reggae Eats. Grown-ups will find seasonal adult drinks at the Maine Tasting Center’s outdoor Biergarten.

Truly a Block Party for everyone, brought to you by Wiscasset Holiday Marketfest, Wiscasset Community Center, and Wiscasset Area Chamber of Commerce. The evening’s sponsor is Dave’s Disposal.
