What an exciting time of year it is! We love to celebrate the season with Holiday traditions, and we certainly won’t let the cold weather stop us from enjoying the outdoors. From ice skating to light shows, beautifully decorated homes dazzling with lights, there is definitely something for the whole family to enjoy!

This light show will run each weekend from now until December 20th (Saturday and Sunday, 6:00-7:30, on the half hour for 15 min of dazzling fun). Festival goers will also enjoy visiting the Harbor Master Building, which will be transformed into Cookie Land, where kids will be able to decorate cookies.
