Countdown to Christmas - there`s just one more shopping day! Support the small, locally-owned businesses here at Savage Mill. They are open tomorrow, Christmas Eve, until 6 pm to fulfil your last-minute gift-giving needs. Peruse unique items or inquire about a gift card that allows the recipient to choose an item, class, or experience that best suits their personal taste and schedule.
Sundown today marks the last day of Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. May the light and its message of hope continue to shine. Happy Holidays!
The first snowfalls came early to Savage this season, well before this Sunday`s winter solstice. Love snow or hate it, the blanket of winter white lay in vivid contrast to the crimson red of the newly-painted iconic Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge beside Savage Mill.

Last Saturday we were happy to host our second annual parranda, a Puerto Rican twist on traditional holiday caroling. Our friends with @cultura_plenera provided music, singing, and laughter for a beautiful celebration of the season. Thank you to everyone who joined us, bringing festive hats, handmade instruments, dancing, and tears of joy that made for a very special evening. ¡Feliz navidad!
We`re looking forward to another weekend of holiday festivities here at Savage Mill. Join us for a big highlight: the return of a Flash Mob Parranda on Saturday, Dec. 13, 6-7pm!
A parranda is Puerto Rico’s joyful twist on holiday caroling—filled with music, laughter, and community spirit. Traditionally held in homes, our friends with @cultura_plenera are bringing it to the heart of Savage Mill for a one-hour musical celebration you won’t want to miss.

Sunday afternoon`s Santa Heim history tour enjoyed this stop on the newly-repainted and illuminated Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge. The group spent an hour exploring sites that were part of the 1948-51 Santa Novelties Christmas ornament factory legacy.
Check out the "Santa Heim, Merryland: A Savage Christmas Story" exhibition, on display in the New Weave building through Jan. 9!

🌟 Thank you for a beautiful Bridge Lighting! 🌟
What an incredible night at Savage Mill. Thank you to everyone who bundled up, came out, and helped us welcome the season with this cherished community tradition.
A very special thank you to @aardvarkconcepts for installing the lights so beautifully, and to @hocorec for their hard work in bringing the bridge restoration across the finish line in time for Saturday.
We were also so happy to welcome Nana from Bollman Bridge Elementary as our Cheermeister this year. She brought such joy and excitement to the countdown.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to @hocogovexec Calvin Ball. It has been an honor to light the bridge with him year after year, and we are so grateful for his continued support of this tradition and of our Savage community.
We also want to thank @visithocomd, @howardcountyeda, and @councilwomancmr Christiana Rigby for joining us and for everything they do to uplift our small businesses and our historic town.
Thank you as well to the Savage Community Association for being such an important part of this annual celebration. And a huge shoutout to Tori the Elf for leading everyone to the bridge and bringing an extra dose of holiday magic.

From cats to kids, pups to parents, everyone raves about Santa PoPPoP and Mrs. Claus. We spoke with them to find out why they like weekends here so much and (because today is National Cookie Day) to ask them about their favorite cookie!

This Saturday at 6pm, join us in person to watch the magic happen during our annual Holiday Bridge Lighting! @hocorec just restored the Bollman Truss Railroad Bridge to its original Federal Red color, and it’s a sight to behold! Following remarks from local dignitaries including @hocogovexec Calvin Ball and @councilwomancmr Christiana Rigby, a “cheermeister” (student from Bollman Bridge Elementary) will light the bridge for the season! (Note: Foundry St. will be closed to vehicular traffic from 5-7 pm to accommodate the crowds!)
Small Business Saturday at Savage Mill was everything we hoped for and more!
Thank you to everyone who came out to shop small and fill the Mill with so much energy and warmth. Our artists, makers, boutiques, and restaurants felt the love all day long. Santa and Mrs. Claus were a total delight and the smiles from families, kids, and even a few pups made the whole place shine.
We loved welcoming @hocogovexec, @christianarigbyhoco, @vatterbeary, @howardcountyeda and @visithocomd to help kick things off. @boydcruwines and their incredible vendors brought amazing festive vibes to the pop up market and helped make the day feel truly special.
And the celebration keeps going! Savage Mill Yuletide continues this weekend along with our annual Bridge Lighting on December 6th at 6pm. Come back, bring a friend, and keep the holiday magic going at Savage Mill.
