Events this Weekend in Delaware and Maryland

November 16, 2022

We begin our transition away from the annual Fall Festival Season to the 2022 holiday season this week, highlighted by the annual launch of two of the region's most spectacular holiday light displays.

Held in both Milton and Ocean City, these displays are a great way to get into the holiday spirit at the Delaware and Maryland beaches. Both are a lot of fun and greatly encouraged by all of us here at the Oldfather Group of Compass RE.

In addition to the Winter Wonderfest and the Winterfest of Lights events, we also have several other great things to tell you about for this weekend before Thanksgiving.

Keep reading below for more information and, as always, have a wonderful weekend at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches.
