Spend a festive Saturday with us downtown!
Join us on Saturday, December 5, for a full day of holiday fun all around downtown Saco! The festival will start bright and early at 9:30 AM with story time with Santa at City Hall, so bring the kids in their pajamas and settle in for a story before you head out to explore. From there, you’ll find something happening all day long, and you can wrap up the festivities on Main Street for the Parade of Lights that evening.
