A Main Street Christmas - Tree Lighting and Santa Parade

Come visit our CHARMING town where true holiday SPIRIT is about bringing the community together, to share some memories, and make new ones. 

The old-fashioned Main Street Christmas celebration is a growing favorite, attracting families from Mount Airy, as well as visitors from surrounding counties, Baltimore City, and Washington, DC.


Downtown Mount Airy has delicious restaurants and over 18 shops, to keep you busy. Between all the shops, you are bound to find something for everyone on your gift list. Please consider Mount Airy next time you need to find that special gift for someone. Main Street will be closed to traffic during this event so you can feel free to walk safely down Main Street!
