"The downtown area has a rich history, with structures still standing from the 18th and 19th centuries. In December, especially during Christmas in St. Michaels, Maryland | Enjoy our historic waterfront town! Weekend (December 10–13), the village transforms into something straight out of a snow globe.

"Talbot Street, St. Michaels’ main drag, is lined with boutiques, outfitters, and culinary shops, as well as an array of refined restaurants. Check out Ruse, an upscale seafood spot, Limoncello Italian Restaurant & W**e Bar, and Cherry Street’s The Crab Claw on the Miles River. After a cold day out and about, head to Lyon Rum & Windon Distilling Company for sips that will warm you right up."

" Talbot Street forms the town's walkable commercial spine, lined with boutiques, art galleries, and seafood restaurants such as Corah's Corner, all housed in beautifully preserved centuries-old buildings. The street truly comes alive during Christmas in St. Michaels each December, when a parade, a lighted boat procession on the Miles River, and open-air caroling take over downtown for a weekend. For a view from the water, Patriot Cruises and other local charter operators run narrated tours out of St. Michaels Harbor, offering a look at the same shoreline that has shaped this town's maritime identity since its founding."
