Join the Mission for two Christmas events in December. Visit the Mission’s Colket Center during the Northeast Harbor Christmas Festival to make crafts, enjoy a festive atmosphere, and welcome Santa and Mrs. Claus to town. Then travel Downeast to Cherryfield to celebrate Christmas with cookie decorating, games, crafting and more.
Your gift to the Maine Seacoast Mission makes you part of all we do.
On Saturday, December 7, join the Mission for three events at its offices at 6 Old Firehouse Lane during Mount Desert Chamber of Commerce’s Northeast Harbor Christmas Festival. From 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. families can create a jingle bell noise maker to welcome Santa and Mrs. Claus. At 3:30 p.m., the Mission’s flagship boat, the Sunbeam, will deliver Santa and Mrs. Claus to Northeast Harbor’s marina. From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. the Mission will welcome guests for an open house. Stop by for holiday cheer and lite refreshments.
On Friday, December 15 from 4 to 6 p.m., the Mission’s 63-acre Cherryfield campus will host a Christmas celebration. During this event, children and adults can engage in a variety of crafts including ornament making and dreidel painting. There will also be games, cookie decorating, and a photo station. In Weald Bethel Community Center there will be light refreshments and a hot chocolate bar will be available at the Weald Bethel Community Center while campfire and s’mores will take place outside on Mission grounds.
Both events are free and open to the public. To learn more about the Northeast Harbor Christmas Festival and additional activities offered that day, please visit the Mount Desert Chamber of Commerce website. For more information about the Cherryfield event, contact the Mission at (207) 546-4466.
