The annual attraction known as Sailing Through The Winter Solstice takes place in Frederick, Maryland.
If you've ever been to downtown Frederick, you've probably seen Carroll Creek Linear Park looking like this, or covered in water plants during summer months.
During the winter months, the creek is decked out with an extraordinary Christmas boat display in Maryland that lights up the night.
The Sailing Through the Winter Solstice display will take place from November 2023 to March 2024.
Launch Day is scheduled for Nov. 18.
Frederick businesses are invited to sponsor and design boats with Christmas lights in Maryland for this colorful display of holiday cheer.
You can view the boats anytime day or night, and they are usually lit around sunset.
What a perfect way to end the day.
From the Black Pearl to mythical creatures that were showcased last year, you'll marvel at all of the vibrant boats that are all unique in their own way.
The SS Andrew Lee and Bruce Lee sparkles brilliantly in honor and memory of Andrew Lee and his father Bruce Lee.
It makes Christmas in Maryland that much more special.
After seeing them all, vote for your favorites, with each vote earning $1, and the money raised will go toward Color on the Creek and other local charities.
The 2022-23 season raised more than $130,000 for charities in Frederick County, making it one of the most worthwhile holiday traditions in Maryland!
