One fortunate dividend from the pandemic is that many people are finding new connections with the outdoors. Whether it’s walking your dog, jogging by the shore or venturing out in a kayak, the beauty of the Chesapeake Bay area has proven to be a refuge for many people in 2020.
For those lucky enough to live in a waterfront community with a temperate climate, there are innumerable opportunities for passive and active recreation this winter season. If you are considering purchasing a home in the region, Koch Homes’ Pondview and Gibson’s Grant developments offer unsurpassed beauty and access to all of the amenities and activities afforded by close proximity to the Chesapeake Bay.
Annapolis is one of those towns that takes on a magical vibe during the holiday season. The city’s historic waterfront, military provenance and relatively temperate climate make it ideal for making the most of the outdoors during the winter months. Check out some of these activities the city is hosting this season!
If an antler-festooned shuttle boat seems like just what you need to get out of the house and into the holiday spirit, then take the family on a cruise along the shore to check out the Lights on the Bay that will be going on through January 1st of the new year.
If holiday lights are your go-to festivity, Annapolis also offers their signature Eastport Lights Yacht Club Parade. On December 12th, the bay will be filled with sparkling, colorful lights and merry boaters spreading cheer.
One of the most festive shopping experiences on the entire eastern seaboard is Annapolis’s Midnight Madness, scheduled for December 3rd and 10th from 4 pm-12 am and December 17th from 4 pm-11 pm. Get out of the house and hunt for some bargains and deals during this unique late-night event. Retailers all throughout downtown will follow county safety guidelines, ensuring a safe and rewarding shopping opportunity for all.
