Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony

5:30pm


On the evening after Thanksgiving, Portland gathers at the Square to celebrate the official start of the season by lighting the spectacular 70ft Tree. The hour-long program engages professional and amateur talent, a community chorus sing-a-long, a tree lighting countdown, state-wide dignitaries and of course, the arrival of Santa.

No different from any other town in the United States of America, maybe it is your fault you can't find friends.
