On Saturday, December 3rd at 11 AM, Lexington Park Business Association and St. Mary’s CDC had to make the difficult decision to postpone the Lexington Park Holly Days event originally scheduled for 2-5 p.m.

After careful consideration of the forecast that called for the weather to clear before the start of the event, organizers who arrived at the Square early Saturday morning were prepared to move forward as planned. However, the organizers discovered substantial rain pooling in the event area, which made running electricity and keeping vendors and participants safe and dry impossible.

We will share a rescheduled date in the coming days. We apologize that we had to make this difficult decision but look forward to bringing the Lexington Park community together for the holiday season. Stay tuned for updates!
