Santa will be visiting the historic Station 1898 (MBACC building) at 2 Kilton Lane in Machias from 12 noon until 3 p.m. Plenty of opportunities for parents to take pictures and each child will be given a wrapped gift. Refreshments will be served.
The Machias Christmas Parade of Lights will begin at 4 p.m. The parade route will begin at Machias Memorial High School continue down Court St, making a right turn onto Broadway Street then a left onto Colonial Way and another left onto Main St. The parade will then continue down Main Street over the dike to the Varney Agency parking lot.
