After a two-year hiatus, the PMA is excited to return our annual tree lighting ceremony to brighten up your holiday season!

Portland's Poet Laureate Maya Williams and Maine Writer and Publishers Alliance's Executive Director Gibson Fay-LeBlanc will read seasonally-inspired poems; students from Greely High School will sing holiday songs; the Black Tie Company will provide sweet treats for your enjoyment; and Make Your Own Snowflake Garland art activity will be available to take home and enjoy.

Festivities start at 6 p.m. and the Tree Lighting is at 6:30 p.m. Tree Lighting will happen, snow, rain, or shine!

Following the lighting, warm up in the museum and explore the galleries for Free Friday until 8 p.m.
