    Hathaway Holiday Lights

    Bangor

    * Unfortunately, this stop is no longer on the list, as the owners have moved. However, there may be a new display nearby. We'll keep you posted!

    This light display comes with music and also collects donations for a good cause! The lights run nightly from 430-9PM .The musical show is free for holiday onlookers, but a red stocking hangs by the road to collect donations for Eastern Maine Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Check out the show from 2013!
