While walking around Columbia Town Center, you notice a chill in the air, maybe even some snow, and festive lights are popping up around the neighborhood. This could only mean one thing: the holiday season is officially here! Columbia Town Center is excited to unite the community for the holidays and bring everyone together for some festive fun. Many holiday events are happening this month in Columbia Town Center and throughout Howard County. Here are some events you can look forward to this season.
Festive Fridays
Columbia Association and the Downtown Columbia Partnership are excited to bring the annual, family-themed Festive Fridays back to the Downtown Columbia Lakefront in 2023. For three Fridays in December, visit the Lakefront to enjoy Ice sculptures, Choral music, a fire pit, S’mores Kits, and more! Bring the whole family and join us for all the fun! RSVP on the events calendar to let us know you’re coming!
Long Reach Tennis Club Holiday Academy
Just because it’s the holiday season doesn’t mean skipping out on fitness. The Long Reach Tennis Club is holding registration for their Holiday Academy from December 26 – January 01. The Junior/Adult Holiday Academy is designed to improve players’ skills, athleticism, and match play, focusing on technical refinement, situational gameplay, and match play.

Howard County Holiday Lights Display
Howard County has launched “HoCo Holiday Lights,” a new online map for residents and visitors to locate residential and commercial holiday light displays. The listing includes an address, photos, display description, display dates and hours, and any special instructions. The website is updated as more residents and owners register their homes and businesses. If you want to show off your holiday lights, be sure to register as early as possible.
