Maryland Christmas Show - Frederick, Maryland

t gossert

As a business owner, I attended the show in hopes that we would participate in it next year. So glad I checked it out before applying to be a vendor. I felt like I had entered a bad flea market. The overall feel was disorganized and poorly planned. A promoter bears responsibility to present a good experience for both vendor and patron, and in this instance, they failed at both. Definitely won't be participating, and would encourage other potential vendors and patrons to check the reviews!

Two stars for the 2 vendors who make their own product and have unique items (the lady with the themed mini-Christmas trees and the man who does custom woodwork). Otherwise, few original creations, too much of the same thing and too much food and drink for sale.

Would much prefer that there was Thanksgiving to New Year's Christkindl Market like they have in Baltimore and Europe. Authentic German ornaments and trinkets, mulled wine and cider and holiday treats for sale, workshops where kids can make small gifts for their parents or decorate cookies, Vendor huts decorated in garland and lights and decorations lining the marketplace along with music and scents of the season.

We have 2 Sister Cities in Germany. Perhaps we should invite them here for the holidays so they can show us how it is done.

Was a 1 star until santa. Santa saved the 1 star and upgraded to a 5 star. Best Santa I've ever seen.

Old review:
30 bucks to get in with parking to just walk around and look at vendors. Rip off.

Looking forward to this year without all the hype over the “virus.” I personally thought that the owners of this event were very conscientious about health and safety protocols last year. If you didn’t attend last year that was your call. Vendors with food samples implemented standards that most likely will stand again this year. The show has changed over the years driven by economic down turn through no fault of the organizers. It still is a festive atmosphere. returns this year . Looking forward our 27th year in a row.

Christmas show was incredible. it had variety along with vendors from all over the country. I moved to Frederick several months ago, so this was my first year participating.

I've seen several negative reviews about how the Christmas show has diminished over the years. if that's the case then it had to have been spectacular, because I found this year's show outstanding!

From specialty food items, specialty arts & crafts , to clothing wear, specialty pet goods, home goods and engaging vendors!

From what I encountered, it was a great time had by all! if you missed it and or decided not to come because of one of the poor reviews I encourage you to come next year and decide for yourself! I had a good time and if the Lord is willing, I'll be there in 2019!

The cost of 2 of us coming with parking is $18.00 and we were there less than an hour. A lot of duplicate vendors that are at Sugarloaf as well on the same weekend. There are lots of wine vendors. It was our first time and our last time. The people were nice just not worth the cost of admission.

They are charging way to much money to get in when half the vendors are not even there. Lots of empty spaces not like it use to be when all the buildings were full... skipping this show going forward not worth the drive or the cost of admission...want a good craft show head to Harrisburg first weekend in December !
