22nd Annual Midnight Madness Saturday, December 2, 2023
Shop, Dine, Stay at participating businesses on Saturday, December 2nd to receive tickets for your chance to win amazing gift baskets.
Celebrating the holidays in St. Michaels is a tradition for many, and this year is no different. Maryland’s Eastern Shore is home to many picturesque towns, but none embody an old-fashioned holiday feel quite like St. Michaels. With our quaint shops, world-class dining and jolly spirit, St. Michaels is transformed during the holidays into a Christmas Village. The holiday spirit is felt throughout town, which makes coming to St Michaels during the holiday season a special experience, year after year, and provides a wonderful backdrop to shop for the holidays.
This year's 22nd Annual Midnight Madness event starts with the lighting of the Christmas Tree at St. Luke's Church on Friday, December 1st. The tree lighting started in 2021 as a way to show support for the businesses in town and adorns ornaments representing the businesses. On the morning of Midnight Madness, start your day out with a brisk run or walk with St. Michaels Running Company's Holiday Hustle, a scenic 5k Run/Walk along St. Michaels Nature Trail (weather permitting).As day turns to night, St. Michaels becomes a beautiful twinkling Christmas Village. Shops will be open late with refreshments and snacks, and special sales during Midnight Madness, plus each purchase at participating businesses gives you a chance to win gift baskets!
Look for Midnight Madness sponsor posters at your favorite shop, restaurant or lodging locations.
Midnight Madness kicks off at The Galley at 9pm with Musician/DJ Bobby Reed, who will be singing songs, playing favorite holiday tunes and will have audience participation until the drawings start at 11pm.
Drawings start at 11:00pm at The Galley Restaurant and participants must be present to win.Thanks to the many participating Midnight Madness sponsors and donations from businesses, Midnight Madness would not happen without them!
