The holiday season is underway with the lighting of the downtown Cumberland Christmas tree Friday night. A large crowd gathered to cheer on the holiday and for the arrival of Santa. This year's tree, at 20-year-old Concord Fir was donated by Tom and Carolyn Matthews owners of the Intown Tree Farm.

Volunteers with Let's Beautify Cumberland sponsor the illumination of Veterans Park along Centre Street in red, white and blue lights as a part of the Downtown Tree Lighting celebration with holiday music, cookies and hot chocolate. Frosty and Rudolph we're on hand for photos.
