Drive Through Over 1 Million LED Lights at Maine Celebration of Lights in Cumberland
One thing that I look forward to every holiday season is the lights. There is just something about Christmas lights and decorations that bring a smile to my face. Many houses go all out during the winter months, but there are also places in which you can choose to drive thru or walk thru that shine bright with thousands of Christmas lights.
Maine Celebration of Lights is held at the Cumberland County Fairgrounds. You can expect to see over 1 mile of road that is transformed into a glistening display of over 1 million LED lights and animatronic scenes. If you want to go through a drive thru light experience, this is a perfect place to bring your friends and family.
