The charming town of Berlin is beautiful year-round, but there's something extra special about it during the holidays! With garland-draped lampposts, festive storefronts, and a sparkling Christmas tree outside the historic Atlantic Hotel, downtown Berlin looks like something straight out of a Christmas movie. And with plenty of holiday events planned, there's no better time to visit!
The festivities kick off on November 27, from 5–7 p.m., with Ice Ice Berlin and Tree Lighting. Watch the town light up for the season and stroll through downtown to admire more than 30 incredible ice sculptures.
On Thursday, December 3, from 7–9 p.m., the beloved Berlin Christmas Parade takes over Main Street! One of the Eastern Shore's largest holiday parades, this annual tradition features marching bands, festive floats, dancers, fire trucks, Santa, and plenty of holiday cheer.
On December 10 at 5 p.m., join the Hanukkah Celebration at The Inn Berlin for the lighting of the menorah at 15 Harrison Street, next to the Berlin Library.
Finally, Berlin wraps up the year with its fun, family-friendly New Year's Eve Celebration on December 31. Enjoy music, festivities, and the famous ball drop at 6 p.m. Why so early? Because that's midnight in Berlin, Germany! 🎉
After the celebration, keep the fun going at one of Berlin's many welcoming restaurants and bars.
With its small-town charm, beautifully decorated streets, unique shops, and festive events, Berlin is a wonderful place to make holiday memories! We spent some time wandering around town this week, enjoying its charm and soaking up the atmosphere before the festivities begin. It's a lovely time to visit, as this delightful little town gets ready for its magical holiday transformation!
