This is a MUST SEE!!! This is one of our favorite Downtown Frederick traditions!! Sailing Through The Winter Solstice begins in November each year, when a number of boats, transformed through the creative minds of many Frederick friends, set sail on the Creek. The fleet has grown from one boat the first year to 28 sailing boats and 1 land-locked boats in the 2025-26 season. The boats are anchored in Carroll Creek, between Market Street and Carroll Street.
Friday Evening @ 6:30 PM. Holiday cheer fills the streets during this annual parade in Downtown Frederick. Begins at the corner of South Carroll and East Patrick streets and ends in Baker Park with the lighting of the City Tree.
