Plans for the annual Christmas in St. Michaels Holiday Gala, to be held on Friday, December 7, at 6:30 p.m. at Harbourtowne Resort in St. Michaels, were just announced by gala co-chairs Kit Hughes and Nancy Parnell. “The gala is a highlight of the holidays for many people in the community, and we plan for this year’s gala to offer the fine food, good music, glitz, glamour and fun that people have come to expect from this special charity event,” said co-chair Kit Hughes.

The evening will feature cocktails and hors-d’oeuvres, a seated three-course dinner with wine selections, and dancing to the music of the XPD’s, a musical group known for their versatility in playing pop, jazz, rock and R&B.
Invitations to the gala were mailed in September, but co-chair Nancy Parnell wants people to understand that everyone is invited to the gala. “We send invitations to people involved in Christmas in St. Michaels activities and to those who have attended in the past, but we can’t possibly know the names and addresses of everyone who might be interested in coming,” said Parnell. “Reservations are required, so anyone interested should call us at 410-745-0745 or visit our web site at www.christmasinstmichaels.org.”
Tickets for the gala are $125 per person, and black tie is optional. All funds raised by the Holiday Gala and other Christmas in St. Michaels activities go to local non-profit organizations selected each year as beneficiaries of this community-wide charitable event.
Christmas in St. Michaels will take place this year on December 7, 8 and 9 in and around St. Michaels, MD. In addition to the Holiday Gala, it will include a Christmas parade, tour of homes, Breakfast with Santa, Santa’s Wonderland, gingerbread house display, the Marketplace for hand-crafted gifts, a celebration of choirs, and many other holiday festivities.
