PHOTO GALLERY: A tale of two Marblehead tree lightings
Friday night at the Marblehead Christmas Walk means the lighting of not one but two Christmas trees.
First, in the parking lot across from National Grand Bank, student singers provide much of the entertainment as the official town tree is illuminated.
The action then moves to Mud Puddle Toys on Washington Street, where Glover’s Marblehead Regiment leads those gathered in sea chanteys, and a lobster trap tree is set aglow.
Here are some scenes.
