Behind the scenes of Prelude is a cast of hundreds. Year after year, virtually every aspect of the Kennebunk community gets involved. Participating in Prelude activities are the churches, school choirs, civic and community groups, plus hundreds of volunteers. In all types of weather, you will find these hardworking volunteers devoting days of their time in dressing the village and historic homes in holiday finery with sparkling lights, splendid Christmas trees, seashell decorated wreaths, and garlands of greenery and ribbon.
