A holiday beacon of light

This classic New England scene is Cape Neddick Light, one of Maine’s (northeastern United States) most iconic lighthouses, all lit up for the holiday season. Every year on the Saturday after the Thanksgiving holiday, hundreds gather on the mainland across from tiny Nubble Island to count down to the lighting. It is quite the holiday tradition, complete with Santa, live reindeer, and thousands of cookies baked by locals.

‘Nubble Light,’ or ‘the Nub,’ is arguably the most iconic of Maine’s 65 lighthouses. Built on more than two acres of granite island, the Nub has been protecting sailors since 1879. There’s no better time to visit than when it’s all dressed up for the holidays. And if you miss the winter display, you can come back in July, when it's relit for summer visitors.
