MARYLAND CHRISTMAS SHOW RETURNS

Two weekends, 215 artisans, and eight heated exhibition halls full of handcrafted treasures — the Maryland Christmas Show has become something of an institution in these parts. Running Nov. 21-23 and Nov. 28-30 at the Frederick Fairgrounds, this family-owned operation offers more than the usual holiday market fare. With over 100 new exhibitors joining the lineup this year, shoppers will find everything from hand-blown glass to specialty foods, jewelry to holiday decor. A strategic tip for shoppers? Hit both weekends if you can, since not all vendors appear for the full run. Plus, there’s a food tent, live music and Santa — because why not make an afternoon of it?
