Midnight Madness is on the Way

General merriment is on the way, scheduled to arrive this evening with Ellicott City's 33rd annual celebration.

Restaurants and shops on Main Street in the Historic District of Ellicott City will be open until midnight. Public officials will be on hand for a tree lighting at the old post office at 6 p.m. and there will be movies and performances and carolers and more.

Get a glimpse of last year's festivities from Tales of Two Cities, and check out the Mt. Hebron High School Madrigals.

And be sure to bundle up. The National Weather Service is forecasting a cloudy, cold night with temperatures in the 20s.

This article was corrected to indicate tree lighting will be at 6 p.m.
