The Q Rocks Portland Christmas Tree Lighting [VIDEO]
Thousands of Portland area residents flocked to Monument Square on a cold Friday night to enjoy a night of rockin' Christmas carols on the Q Patio, the arrival of Santa and the lighting of the Portland Christmas tree.
Townsquare Media and Electricity Maine were among the sponsors of the Portland Christmas Tree Lighting.
On the Q Patio, a group of local musicians performed several holiday favorites that ranged from "Winter Wonderland," "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Run Run Rudolph." The event provided families with a great way to usher in the holiday season after many endured power outages caused by a snow storm that disrupted or delayed Thanksgiving celebrations for some.
What follows is an image gallery of the many festival sights from the Portland Christmas Tree Lighting. Happy Holidays!
