Redecorate the halls this holiday season with cheerful and inventive ideas from the Maryland Home & Holiday Show. This three-day event gives homeowners the opportunity to meet with hundreds of contractors, shop the latest home improvement trends and purchase seasonal gifts for friends and family. Highlights of the show will include:

More than 300 Exhibitors: Hundreds of knowledgeable contractors, landscapers, designers and house product gurus who will be showing off the latest trends in home improvement and answering questions about how to get started with, continue or add the finishing touch to home projects of any size.

World-Famous Frisbee Dogs: The Disc-Connected K9s—four world champion, acrobatic dogs—will be making an appearance at the show. Spectators will watch world-class dogs jump, flip and catch Frisbees in a pawstively-perfect performance. Pet products will also be available for visitors to browse and buy in-between the Disc-Connected K9s’ shows.

Holiday Crafts and Gifts: An array of unique, handmade products from juried craftspeople will provide shoppers with endless gift-giving options for everyone on their holiday lists—an awesome alternative to mass-produced gifts offered on Amazon.

Landscaped Gardens: Visitors will walk through beautifully-landscaped seasonal settings that incorporate hardscaping, native trees and shrubs, and fall flowers into breathtaking garden displays.

Tiny House by Sustainafest: The Annapolis nonprofit, Sustainafest, will be debuting its 210 square foot, student-built “Tiny House” model that demonstrates sustainable living practices for the home. Visitors can stop by the house to learn more about living sustainably, improving the environment and supporting the local economy.

Designer Sport Caves: For those looking for inspiration in displaying their Baltimore sports pride at home, the show will feature three, model “sports caves” decked out in Ravens and Orioles colors and memorabilia. Attendees can learn how to transform their own small space into a Baltimore sports cave with ideas from professional interior designers.

A Visit from Santa: Santa will be leaving the North Pole a little early this year to meet and greet children and read holiday stories on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Wine Tastings: Guests can sample some of Maryland’s best wine from Boordy Vineyards, Far Eastern Shore Winery and The Winery at Olney while perusing vendor booths.
