Only in Maryland will you find crab pot Christmas trees, giant glowing crabs, and Old Bay ornaments. That’s why we’ve decided to put together this list of some of the quirkiest Christmas displays in the Old Line State. There’s no place like Maryland during the holidays, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Check it out:
- Chesapeake City Waterfront
Facebook / Chesapeake City Chamber of Commerce Chesapeake City’s Winterfest of Lights runs until January 7th, which gives you plenty of time to explore the nautical Christmas displays. With glowing crabs and a giant crab pot tree, this waterfront spot is oh so Maryland.
- Crab Pot Tree, Tilghman Island

- Miracle on 34th Street, Baltimore

- Byron Memorial Park, Williamsport

Stroll through this wonderland through January 4th.
