🎄 A Magical Start to the Christmas Season

The magic of the holidays will roll right into the Moosehead Lake Region this November when the CPKC Holiday Train makes a special stop in Greenville Junction! Each year, the brightly lit train travels across North America, spreading holiday cheer and raising awareness for local food banks—and this year, Greenville is one of the lucky communities along the route.

On Saturday, November 22, families and visitors will gather at the Greenville Junction Depot to experience a spectacular light show on rails. The train will arrive around 6:15 p.m. and stay until about 6:45 p.m., bringing with it live entertainment, music, and plenty of Christmas spirit.

✨ What You’ll See

The CPKC Holiday Train is a rolling celebration decked out with thousands of colorful lights, dazzling displays, and a festive atmosphere that can warm even the coldest Maine evening. Each stop features live performances right from the train’s stage car, where talented musicians perform holiday classics and original songs that get everyone into the spirit of giving.

The best part? It’s completely free to attend! However, attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item or monetary donation to support local food banks and families in need.

🧣 Plan Your Evening

To make the most of this special event:

• Arrive early — The stop lasts just about 30 minutes, so plan to arrive around 5:45 p.m. to find parking and a good viewing spot.

• Bundle up — Late November evenings in Maine can be chilly. Dress warmly and bring blankets or hot cocoa!

• Bring your holiday spirit — This is a perfect opportunity for families, kids, and visitors to kick off the Christmas season together in a festive community setting.

Parking will be available near the Greenville Junction Depot, but space may be limited, so consider carpooling or arriving early.

❤️ Giving Back
