every aspect of the Kennebunk community
gets involved. Participating in Prelude

choirs, civic and community groups, plus
hundreds of volunteers. In all types of
weather, you will find these hardworking
volunteers devoting days of their time
in dressing the village and historic
homes in holiday finery with sparkling
lights, splendid Christmas trees,
seashell decorated wreaths, and garlands
of greenery and ribbon.
