The Festival of Lights Parade will be taking place in downtown Bangor. The theme is "The Magic of Rotary". As in the past, we hope to present a spectacular nighttime parade, featuring entries that convey the many ways of celebrating winter in Maine. To help defray the cost of transportation, Rotary will contribute up to $1,000 to the first marching band (school or non-profit) who registers and marches in our parade. We can accommodate approximately 80 glittering units: marching bands, small and large floats, dancers and other performing groups. Your group may represent traditional scenes celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, New Years, Solstice, Kwanzaa or any winter happening. This dazzling event brightens the season for the thousands of spectators who will line the streets of Bangor.
