Each year, Visit Freeport presents one of Maine’s most popular holiday celebrations, Sparkle Celebration. The event kicks off in Freeport on Friday, December 4, 2020 at 6pm with a Parade of Lights down Main Street and a countdown with Santa to bring our famous talking Christmas Tree to life! At the end of the countdown, the tree sparkles with light and children delight in chatting with our signature talking tree.
The fun continues all week with loads of free events and activities including visits with Santa, horse drawn carriage rides, free holiday movies, a Tuba Christmas Concert, a Sparkle Market and more! Visitors will enjoy great events, dining, and shopping throughout the week.
