The old-fashioned Main Street Christmas celebration is a growing favorite, attracting families from Mount Airy, as well as visitors from surrounding counties, Baltimore City, and Washington, DC.

Downtown Mount Airy has delicious restaurants and over 18 shops, to keep you busy. Between all the shops, you are bound to find something for everyone on your gift list.
