Christmas In Maryland
A six-hour audio journey allowing listeners to pause and feel the tradition that lives nestled between the mountains of western Maryland and the beaches of the Atlantic shore.
Christmas In Maryland takes you from the big city to the small towns of Maryland, capturing the stories of the season at every stop, all wrapped around your favorite holiday songs.
Christmas In Maryland has captured Maryland at Christmastime!
It’s a visit to world-famous 34th Street in Baltimore. It’s spending time with family in LIttle Italy on Christmas Eve. It’s tagging along with Santa on one of his visits to western Maryland.
It’s also a sneak peak at what has become known as “Christmastown” in Pittsville on Maryland’s eastern shore.
You will also meet a couple from Cambridge who went to “Santa School” to learn how to become Santa & Mrs. Claus.
We’ll explain how hundreds of Marylanders have been starting the holiday season in north Baltimore since the early 2000’s. It involves brass, bagpipes and a cathedral.
