Rockland, Maine - On a cloudy, chilly Friday evening, November 27th, 2015 after Thanksgiving it was time for the annual trap tree lighting in Mildred Merrill Park overlooking Harbor Park. The trap tree lighting is an annual event to celebrate the start of the Christmas season. This celebrating of lighting the trap tree is a great way for people to gather together as a community for Christmas music by Midcoast Music Academy, cookies, coca and holiday cheer. Trap tree lighting is apart of Rockland Main Street Inc Festival of Lights events. Rockland Main Street Inc does a wonderful job with the Festival of Lights events during the weekend after Thanksgiving. As tradition it is not a trap tree lighting without Santa Claus to turn the lights on with a few lucky young kids helping. Mildred Merrill Park was crowed with young. old, family, friends, co-workers, Rockland Main Street Inc leaders and city council leaders like our new mayor Louise MacLellan Ruf along with Maine Sea Goddess Jackie Thorbjornson.
Reminder: Saturday, November 28th is Festival of Lights parade lights starting at 6pm on main street in Rockland, Maine.
