Downtown Annapolis Prepares For Midnight Madness

Shop local during Midnight Madness on December 5 and 12, from 4:00pm until midnight, and on the Eleventh Hour on December 19 until 11:00pm at 90 stores and 80 restaurants in downtown Annapolis.

The downtown Annapolis area — including West Street, Maryland Avenue, Main Street and the City Dock area — will be filled with traditional holiday decorations including garland, wreaths, holiday lights, a snowflake alley, light canopies, a large Christmas tree and a menorah. This will create a fun, safe, outdoor environment for late-night shopping and dinner for families.

On-street entertainment will fill downtown Annapolis. For the second Midnight Madness (December 12), guests can also enjoy the Annapolis Holiday Market opening night at City Dock from 4:00pm to 10:00pm.

Free parking is available at the Calvert Street Parking Garage (19 St. Johns Street) from 6:00pm to 6:00am, and $2 all-evening parking from 4:00pm to 6:00am is available at the Whitmore Parking Garage (25 Clay Street). Also, two-hour free parking on commercial streets is offered for anyone who uses the ParkMobile app.

Available for free access, the bus will pick up and drop off visitors at the Park Place and Knighton parking garages. On-street metered spaces on commercial streets are free for short-term parking.
