Come see us for some fun this weekend! Ice Skating, gift vendors and more!! 🎄🎅🏼
The Sharpsburg Downtown Development Authority is gearing up for its annual Winter Fest, a seasonal celebration to foster community spirit and raise funds to revitalize the town’s historic downtown district.
The event, scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 21 through Monday, Dec. 23, will feature various festive activities, including a unique artificial ice skating rink, food trucks, local vendors and family-friendly entertainment.
Winter Fest is more than just a holiday event — it’s a key component of the DDA’s mission to breathe new life into Sharpsburg’s downtown.
According to April Yarbrough of the Sharpsburg DDA, proceeds from the event will help fund essential initiatives like facade grants, updated design guidelines and other projects to transform the area into a thriving, vibrant district.
“This is a fun and exciting activity for kids,” Yarbrough said. “The ice may be artificial, but it doesn’t dampen the Christmas spirit or the memories we create with this event.”
The DDA invites residents and visitors to join in the festivities and create lasting winter memories while contributing to the growth and future of Old Towne Sharpsburg.
Skating will be held at the A & O Bridges Community Center, 105 Main St., from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all three days.
The cost per skater is $10 for a 30-minute session, which includes skate rental. Monday is reserved for younger children, allowing parents to assist their little ones on the ice with skating aids available.
Tickets for skating sessions can be reserved online, and proceeds will directly support the DDA’s efforts to revitalize downtown Sharpsburg. For more information or to reserve skating slots, visit:
