Hundreds of people gather in Dufresne Plaza in Lewiston as the holiday tree is lit in 2010.
The parade will start at 6 p.m. at Main and Academy streets, stopping briefly at Auburn's Festival Plaza to light the Christmas tree before continuing across the Gov. James B. Longley Memorial Bridge up Main Street to Park Street.
The parade ends at Dufresne Plaza, between Park and Lisbon streets, at about 6:30 p.m. It will be followed by the Lewiston lighting ceremony for Lewiston's Christmas tree and the community menorah.
Most of the celebration this year will be in Lewiston, including an appearance by Santa Claus, the Christmas tree and menorah lighting ceremony, float judging, entertainment, wagon rides, story time, crafts, hot chocolate and snacks.
The Lewiston High School and Edward Little High School choral groups are scheduled to perform.
Stillbrook Acres of Gray will give free wagon rides along Park Street in Lewiston.

Christmas Tree Lighting
Have you Seen the Tree in Courthouse or Dufresne Plaza, as it is now called? Wow! Lewiston that hard to find a tree for Lewiston? You can Look right through the tree from Either Lisbon Street or Park Street. I really think a more fuller tree could have been chosen as the Christmas tree for Lewiston. Auburn's is a Nice and Tall Full Tree.
I really think those of us in Lewiston Got a Bum Deal with the Charlie Brown Tree we got. Really Sad.
