A Weekend Full of Holiday Spirit to Kick off the Season!!
Whether you are in full-on holiday spirit mode or you need a little something to get you moving in the right direction – December 5th -7th is your weekend to be in downtown Bel Air!
Start the weekend off with a free “Holiday Harmony” concert by the Bay Country Gentlemen, Flashpoint and GQ on December 5th at 7:00 in the Armory. Filled with holiday favorites and more, it’s just what you need to start the weekend off right. Stroll Main Street beforehand to pick up some great gifts then take the chill off with a warm bowl of soup from one of our downtown restaurants. Food and drink will also be available for purchase at the event.
Saturday morning will find you still humming carols from the night before just in time to head to the Armory for the third annual Authors and Artists Holiday Gift Sale which takes place from 10am – 3pm. Featuring over 30 local authors and artists showcasing their signed books, original artwork, jewelry, pottery, photography and much more, the event is a great compliment to shopping at Downtown stores. The Authors and Artists Gift Sale will also offer live entertainment, yummy lunch options and free gift wrapping as well.
You will wind the weekend down with a smile when you attend the Christmas Parade on Sunday afternoon. Find your spot on Main Street for the parade which begins at 3:30 and proceeds from Main Street and Churchville Road to Lee Way and Hickory Avenue. The parade is followed by a bonfire and caroling in Shamrock Park and the lighting of the Town Christmas Tree and Menorah.
Consider yourself in the spirit! Thanks, Downtown Bel Air!
