Annapolitans and visitors won't want to miss this year's two nights of Midnight Madness in downtown Annapolis starting tonight-- Thursday, December 5th and December 12th. The town will be full of holiday music and cheer with opportunities to win gifts and prizes, take holiday photos and shop special sale prices at retail shops, which will each remain open until midnight for holiday shopping and festivities.
Come on out and shop, sing, laugh, stroll, and reconnect with old and new friends while shopping and dining in your favorite shops. Most will have special sales, offers and even better---free cookies, hot chocolate, wine, toddies, massages, and more!
Remember, it is so important to shop local and support our local businesses and our neighbors!

Downtown will be aglow with beautiful holiday decorations thanks to Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis, who is co-sponsoring this year's holiday decorations downtown. PARKING & TROLLEY There are plenty of parking options downtown to attend the events. The 2 hour metered spaces are free for two hours (from Thanksgiving through New Year's), and the Circulator Trolley picks up near all the parking garages and throughout downtown to provide free shuttle rides; shoppers can hit every shop in town.

...and that's not all. Next Thursday, downtown will do it all again with different entertainment, different specials, and more surprises.
...and for those of you who live for procrastination, Eleventh Hour (where all the downtown shops will remain open until 11pm) will be happening on Thursday, December 19th!Come on down and join your neighbors and shop local!

Thank You!
On a personal note, shopping local is so important. All business is local and most of the shops in Annapolis are not big brands. They are your friends, your neighbors, the guy sitting next to you in church, the woman behind you in the grocery line. Our merchants are a large part of what makes Annapolis so special, let's all do our part to make sure they succeed!
I'll see you at Midnight Madness!
All the best--
