1. Winter City Lights (Olney / near Baltimore)

This walk-through wonderland spans roughly 1.5 miles with over one million lights, a dancing 52-foot tree, snow tubing, s’mores, and magic around every corner. 

Tip: Wear comfy shoes and scout for parts of the trail that may be wheelchair-friendly and stroller-friendly.

2. Merriweather Symphony of Lights (Columbia)

This drive-through event at Merriweather Post Pavilion offers animated and stationary displays with the comfort of staying in your car, perfect for those chilly evenings. 

 
Tip: Go earlier in the evening to avoid long lines and keep your headlights low, so you don’t interfere with the display

This two-mile scenic drive along Chesapeake Bay features 70+ animated and static displays, offering a blend of nature, waterfront views, and holiday sparkle.
