Midnight Madness! This beloved Annapolis tradition rekindles the Holiday Spirit in all of us brought to you by the Annapolis Partnership and Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis is happening tomorrow night. Locals and visitors alike stroll the brick-lined streets of the Historic District shopping for that perfect gift. It’s a rare treat to shop downtown until Midnight! Festive carolers, dancers, musicians and street performers are featured throughout Midnight Madness, where the city itself is the stage. Dine before or after you shop…all the delightful Annapolis restaurants and pubs await you.
You can shop in the Historic District, from Main Street to Maryland Avenue, West Street to Market Space, Circle to Circle, City Dock and the sidestreets and alleys in between on Thursday, December 3rd from 6pm until midnight!
The event is organized to support small, independent retailers, and re-ignite the holiday spirit in all of us! Plus, parking downtown is easy, FREE and plentiful: The City of Annapolis provides 3 hours of FREE parking at the 2 Hour bagged meters. 3 hours of FREE Valet parking (near the tree). FREE parking at the Senate Office Lot after 6 pm. Look for the Park & Shop logos in store windows to take advantage of 2 hours FREE parking in any of the City garages.

Bring the entire family. Everyone…bring the whole family, the neighbors and even your pups. Scrooge himself wouldn’t miss the chance to take a selfie in #SnowFlakeAlley. Be sure to look for it and take a selfie and tag it with #SnowFlakeAlley
