We are thrilled to host our Midnight Madness event TONIGHT! The Christmas tree lighting ceremony begins at 5:20 pm. Be sure to get there on time to see the wonderful choirs from Mt. Hebron and Long Reach High School. The St. Paul's Church Music Ministry and Heart of Maryland Chorus are also performing that evening throughout town!

Our other featured events this evening are the Holiday Train Garden at the B&O Ellicott City Station Museum, open from 10 am to 9 pm. From 4:00 to 5:30pm and then 6:30 to 8pm, visit Santa at the Historic Log Cabin to take photos. Both activities are free admission!

Two of our trolleys will also be running during Midnight Madness from 4pm to 12am! Our trolley service will be extended to the Courthouse Lot off Court Avenue for the evening, but you can still catch them at Parking Lot F located off Ellicott Mills Drive to Parking Lot A off Oella Avenue.

We can’t wait to see you there!
