The launch of this family-friendly event several years ago was a great success! The Charles County Fair Board and Christmas Market committee want to encourage locals and visitors alike to come out to enjoy the music, shopping, and tasty Christmas treats.
We will have fresh holiday decorations available for purchase from local greens collected from local yards and fields.
The official tree lighting and arrival of Santa Claus will be held on Friday, December 8th at 5:00 pm.
Santa will be on site all through the Market operating hours!
