One of those is Kennebunkport's famous Christmas Prelude.
The festivities begin Thursday with many events, including chocolate sculpting sessions and a gingerbread pop-up shop.
The celebrations continue throughout the next two weeks with Santa arriving on a lobster boat this Sunday. Visitors can also expect street festivals, parades, food, and fireworks.
The event goes through December 11.
This is the 41st year it will be held.
Several years ago, HGTV called it second best Christmas Town in America.
“I think it’s just the sense of community, you know people coming out. It’s the start of the holiday season. You’ve just come through Thanksgiving. You’re beginning your holiday shopping. You’re beginning your holiday decorating. And then you come in the town here and it’s sort of this quintessential almost Hallmark card that you get to see as you come in the village,” said Charlie Buckley, with Kennebunk Outfitters.
