About this event

The Shops at Waldorf Center, an open-air power center located just minutes from the Capital Beltway in Waldorf, Maryland (www.theshopsatwaldorfcenter.com), invites the community to celebrate the holiday season at its free, family-friendly “Light Up the Season” event on Black Friday, November 27th, in the grassy area outside PetSmart. Honoring the diverse holiday traditions of Charles County, the celebration will feature a festive Makers Market from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., offering holiday shopping opportunities with local artisans and vendors selling unique gifts and handcrafted items. From 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., guests can enjoy Christmas tree and community menorah lighting festivities; a visit from Santa and The Grinch; DJs playing festive music; hot cocoa and donuts; face painting; interactive games; gold coin giveaways; Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza-themed crafts; and a wintery surprise. Food, crafts and giveaways are available while supplies last. Guests are also encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy for children in need throughout Charles County; a toy donation drop-off station will be available at the event. Vendors interested in participating in the Makers Market can register through November 20th at https://bit.ly/4BO4EHA; a vendor registration fee applies.
