DELMARVA’S HOLIDAY ACTIVITY GUIDE
HOLIDAY ACTIVITY GUIDE 2025
Welcome to The Hidden Little Gem Blog’s 2025 Holiday Activity Guide for families on the Eastern Shore of MD! From Salisbury to Ocean City, and across Delmarva, this is your one-stop spot for holiday lights, festive events, parades, Santa visits, and kid-friendly activities.
As a mom of three, my goal is to make it easier to say “yes” to the memory-making and a little less overwhelming to figure out what’s going on and where. Bookmark this page and check back often — I’ll be updating it throughout the season. 🎄✨
