The 6th Annual Frosty 5K + Kids Fun Run was held on Saturday, December 1st as the opening event for the Northeast Harbor Christmas Festival. Temperatures in the mid-30s and calm winds welcomed a group of of about 60 runners and walkers from all over MDI and across eastern Maine.

As Christmas and the holiday season approaches, a local group has been working to encourage seasonal residents with shorefront properties around Northeast Harbor and along Somes Sound to add outdoor lights and Christmas decor. The hope is that these displays will brighten up the waterfront (and holidays) as boats return to harbor each day.
