Holiday Open House
/
The Abbe Museum's Annual Holiday Open House will be held on Saturday, December 8, and this year we are teaming up with the Bar Harbor Merchant's Association to make the event even bigger!
Enjoy free admission to the Abbe all day, but make sure to visit from 1:00 - 4:00 for family activities and refreshments. And, from 1:30-3:30, Santa Claus will be visiting the museum, thanks to the Bar Harbor Merchants Association.
Abbe Educator George Neptune has been planning some new crafts and activities for children of all ages, and families will have the opportunity to enjoy these special activities, in addition to the other family-friendly activities the Abbe has to offer, such as our Family Room with games and more, exhibit scavenger hunts, and touchable artifacts. Volunteers will be on-hand to help children create items that they can take home with them, or give as gifts for the holidays.
Holiday goodies and refreshments will be provided by the Abbe's Culinary Arts Committee and the Bar Harbor Merchants Association, so stop in, relax, and have some fun!
There will also be other exciting events happening in Bar Harbor that weekend, so mark your calendar now!* As part of the Holiday Open House, the Bar Harbor Merchants Association will be hosting 12 Days of Shopping & Dining Locally: A Customer Appreciation Event. The Event kicks-off on December 8 with the activities at the Abbe Museum, as well as special in-store raffles at participating merchants** throughout Bar Harbor. Then, for twelve days, qualifying purchases at those businesses will earn customers entry into a grand-prize raffle with the opportunity to win one of twelve $25 Bar Harbor Merchants Association Gift Certificates! Winners will be drawn on December 20. Visit www.barharbormerchants.com or Facebook to learn more about the 12 Days of Shopping & Dining Locally!
