Each year, FreeportUSA presents one of Maine’s most popular holiday celebrations, Sparkle Celebration. The event kicks off in Freeport the first weekend in December with a Parade of Lights down Main Street to wake up the famous Talking Christmas Tree. The fun continues all weekend with loads of free events and activities including visits with Santa, horse drawn carriage rides, a Holiday Movie Marathon, festive rides aboard the Amtrak Downeaster, a Tuba Christmas Concert and more! Best of all – it’s all free!
