Flat Iron Farm Christmas Village, Light Display Event

Flat Iron Farm

UPDATE DEC. 31, 2017: The Flat Iron Farm light display is now closed for the season. Visit its Facebook page for more information.

It just isn’t the Christmas season for some in Southern Maryland, until their annual pilgrimage to the Flat Iron Farm Christmas Village & Light Display.

The light display traditionally opens on Thansgiving and runs every night through New Year’s Eve. Visitors can turn into the farm off Flat Iron Road, tune their radios to 88.7, and watch the lights dance to the music through a drive Bubby Knott and his Great Mills Trading Post crews have turned into a magical ride into the Christmas season. The synchronized music and light displays are extraordinary and extensive. It’s a drive through Flat Iron Farm not to be forgotten. Exotic animals graze on the grounds amid the grand, computerized lighting events.

In addition to the drive-through light displays, there is a full Christmas Village in operation. Schedule time to stop in and visit. There are pony rides and a chance to see Santa as well as an opportunity to view an astounding collection of memorabilia, find gifts at the Candy Cane House, and much, much more. Take a peek in the video below.

Food and beverages are for sale. Bring your own marshmallows to roast on the huge open fire pit.
 Each weekend, Thursday through Sunday, and the full week before Christmas, visitors are invited to park cars and enjoy the Christmas Village. Thursdays & Sundays, see Lights, Christmas Village, Open Barns, Pony Rides. Fridays & Saturdays, see Lights, Christmas Village, Open Barns, Pony Rides, Pictures with Santa.
