Spotlight on Merriweather Symphony of Lights

Title Sponsor of Spread the Light

By Sponsored November 25, 2020

Macaroni Kid Columbia-Ellicott City-Western Howard is proud to announce Merriweather Symphony of Lights as Title Sponsor of Spread the Light. We are so grateful for their support and excitement to help us Spread the Light in our community this year.

The Symphony of Lights has been a time-honored Howard County holiday tradition enjoyed by many for over 25 years. Set in historic Merriweather Post Pavilion and made up of more than 300,000 bulbs, this family-oriented spectacular is a dazzling display of larger-than-life animated and stationary holiday light creations. With the addition of new lights (and a 150 foot screen!), your time through our refreshed course guarantees a night to remember.
