Maine Stay Inn ~ An Insider's Guide to Kennebunkport

One of the more popular Christmas Prelude activities begins on Saturday evening, December 2, at 6:30, well after sunset.

Christmas revelers put on their warm winter garb and gather in the chill of a clear, or maybe snowy, December evening at the Franciscan Monastery. Located on Beach Street in Lower Village, the Monastery sits on grounds designed by Charles Olmsted, the designer of New York City's Central Park.

In addition to the holiday festivities, the carolers will enjoy chestnuts roasted on an open fire. This wonderful event is sponsored by The White Barn and Grissini Restaurant.
