November: Lighting of the Nubble:  The Annual Lighting of the Nubble is always held the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This is a fun family evening with a variety of entertainment. Dress warm for this one! We invite you to join as we kick off the holiday season! Divers raise a lighted tree from the ocean, Santa will visit, arriving by way of a York Beach Fire Dept. ladder truck and we'll count down, together, the seconds before the Lighthouse is lit and adorned in its holiday lights. There's plenty of hot chocolate and cookies for all! For more info visit http://www.yorkparksandrec.org/events/special-events/
