Bel Air Turns Into Winter Wonderland For Holidays

From the Bel Air Downtown Alliance:

November 5 2019

The Bel Air Downtown Alliance, Greater Bel Air Community Foundation, and Town of Bel Air are excited to bring “Winter Wonderland” to Downtown Bel Air this holiday season.

The project is an initiative to decorate Downtown Bel Air’s Armory Park with holiday décor and bring visitors to Main Street. We anticipate that this project will generate foot traffic on Main Street and will promote shopping and dining at the local businesses and restaurants of Downtown Bel Air. From November 30th to January 1st, TheArmory and neighboring Frederick Ward Park will be decorated with tens of thousands of warm white lights which will be lit every night from 5-10pm. Each Saturday will feature additional holiday-themed programming at the WinterWonderland location.
