Let’s try this again.

Mother Nature forced postponement of the 18th annual Festival of Lights Parade on Saturday, so Bridgton Rec will try to launch the “reverse parade” this Friday night. Despite some power outages, the tree lighting and special Christmas music and story-telling performances were held Saturday.

With possible rain or snow in the forecast for Saturday, Rec Director Gary Colello went the safe route and scheduled the parade for Friday. Parade entries will leave the Town Hall at 5:30 p.m. Here’s the route:
