Westminster Md. Holiday Parade cancelled

Westminster Md. Holiday Parade cancelled

Westminster Maryland Miracle on Main Street Holiday Parade cancelled.

Friday evening, November 23, 2018

The annual Westminster Miracle on Main Street Holiday Parade hosted by City of Westminster Recreation & Parks Department has been cancelled.

The annual tree lighting will still occur at 6 PM in Locust Lane

The Miracle on Main Street parade scheduled for Saturday, November 24th, 2018 in Westminster has been cancelled. Unfortunately due to the worsening forecast we have cancelled the Miracle on Main Street Parade.

There is no rain date for this parade.

The Jingle Bell Run will have a modified run route at 4:55 PM.

The annual tree lighting will still occur at 6 PM in Locust Lane, with a modified ceremony. Right after the tree is lit for the season join us at the Westminster Library for free crafts & games and a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.

According to the US National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, “The Winter Weather Advisory has been expanded further east to include most areas west of I-95. Rain will affect the region starting early Sat. Temps will be cold enough for areas west of the I-95 corridor to experience wintry precipitation which may cause travel difficulties.”

Santa is on his way... Come out from 12-4 to see Santa and take a horse drawn carriage ride through downtown Westminster.

Santa's house is at the Westminster Library.

Carriage rides will leave from Locust Lane.

This Saturday, be sure to come to downtown Westminster for a winter wonderland! Shop, eat, and experience downtown with shops open 'til 10pm, offering great gifts for the holidays! Free horse & carriage rides, fire pits for marshmallow roasting, music and caroling!

Setting up shop in Westminster to help Neighbors in Need

Setting up shop in Westminster to help Neighbors in Need

Katie V. Jones – ExploreCarroll.com Setting up shop in Westminster to help Neighbors in Need

Annual holiday campaign collecting for area's less fortunate

By Katie V. Jones


Adults and teenagers enjoy presents, too, and that's why the Neighbor in Need's holiday shop tries to offer something for every member of the family, from young to old.

"Who wants to wake up on Christmas morning and not have something?' said Holly Hutchins, deputy director of the program. "That's the focus of the program, we serve the whole household."

Created in 1987 through the Human Services Program of Carroll County, Neighbors in Need has the goal of helping low income families and individuals during the holidays.

The City of Westminster


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 15, 2011
Contact: Ron Schroers
Phone: 410-848-6962


“Miracle on Main Street” Returns to Downtown Westminster on November 26th
Maryland’s Largest On-Street Holiday Electric Light Parade Kicks Off at 5:00 p.m.

On November 26th, Santa Claus is coming to Downtown Westminster once again in a big way with the “Miracle on Main Street” Holiday Event! Sponsored by the City of Westminster and the Downtown Westminster Main Street Program, Westminster’s 3rd Annual Holiday Electric Parade kicks off at 5:00 p.m. TheHoliday Electric Parade, which is Maryland’s Largest On-Street Holiday Electric Light Parade, follows Westminster’s traditional parade route of Pennsylvania Avenue and Main Street to Longwell Avenue. There will be dozens of lighted floats (with more than 2,000 lights on each), traditional floats, marching bands, marching units, horses, exotic cars & vehicles and, of course, the big guy himself - Santa Claus - passing in review through Historic Downtown Westminster.

Immediately following the parade, the City’s annual Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place on Locust Lane. Join Mayor Kevin R. Utz, Santa and other City Officials, along with all of the youngsters in attendance, as they light the holiday tree and sing carols to the music of the Westminster Municipal Band. “It’s always a wonderful feeling to see the twinkle in the kids’ eyes, as they watch the parade and the lighting of the holiday tree in awe,” notes Mayor Kevin R. Utz.

After the tree is lit, Santa and the kids will head up to the Westminster Family Fitness Center, 11 Longwell Avenue, for Santa’s Treat for Kids. This children’s event, which runs from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., is free and will feature games, crafts, activities, prizes and an opportunity to chat with Santa Claus.

If you come to the downtown area early, the Carroll Arts Center, 91 West Main Street, kicks off their holiday programs with the musical “Hans Brinker & the Silver Skates” at 3:00 p.m., as a prelude to the “Miracle on Main Street” Holiday Event activities. Tickets for the musical are $9.00 for adults and $6.00 for Arts Council members, students 18 years & under and seniors 60 years & over. For more information or to reserve tickets in advance, call (410) 848-7272.

Of course, great food, drink and shopping can be discovered downtown throughout the day where you also can personally celebrate Small Business Saturday, a nationally proclaimed event. If you do not get into the holiday spirit after such an action-packed day in Downtown Westminster, your last name must be Scrooge!
