Events This Weekend in Delaware and Maryland
We've had a great December filled with all sorts of holiday events and Christmas cheer. But as you can imagine, there aren't a whole lot of planned events for this special holiday weekend.
We do have some new things to tell you about and the area's Christmas light displays and other December long events are still going strong (read more below). So enjoy this special time with your family and maybe duck out for a little holiday cheer in the neighborhood from time to time.
While there aren't a whole lot of planned events for Christmas weekend at and near the Delaware and Maryland beaches, that certainly won't be the case next week.
Be sure to visit our "Weekender Blog" next week for all sorts of special New Year's Eve events located throughout the region.
Merry Christmas everyone!
