Holiday Magic

There is something magical about Annapolis during the holidays. The tourist crowds, as much as we love them, are gone. You see friends and neighbors who you may not have seen in a while, and the local businesses go all out to transform downtown into a magical place.

The holidays also brings fantastic events for us--Small Business Saturday, The Grand Illumination, Midnight Madness (I and II and this year III), the Army-Navy Game, the Military Bowl, New Years Eve, and much, much more!

And to be honest, none of this would not be possible without the support of our locally owned businesses who are here for us 365 days a year. We love our town, so let's make an extra push to support our local businesses this holiday season!

And a huge tip of the hat to a few that coordinated this magic--maybe we can call them the wizards of the wonderland.....

See you with Santa!
