Maine’s lobster trap Christmas trees light up many harbors along the coast. Every season, more villages seem to add them, and the designs get bigger and more elaborate. If you’re visiting the state during the holiday season, consider seeking out these fun and festive trees.
Here are photos depicting a few of Maine’s lobster trap Christmas trees.
Cape Porpoise’s
If you’re visiting the Kennebunks for its annual Christmas Prelude, mosey over to Cape Porpoise to see this traditional wooden lobster pot tree.
Rockland’s lobster trap Christmas tree
In Maine’s Midcoast, Rockland’s lobster trap tree lights up Harbor Park each winter as part of its annual Festival of Lights.
Of course, many other coastal towns build lobster trap trees each winter, so it’s worth the effort to detour down peninsulas and into harborside villages.
My vote goes to the Rockland tree. A beatiful tree in a beautiful town.
wood is more traditional, but metal give rockford a bigger base. and as we all know: bigger is better.
