10Best Says

Composed of dozens of locally-owned businesses, Downtown Frederick has multiple shopping options in a beautiful historic setting. Check out Dancing Bear Toys and Gifts to find a child's present free of batteries. Go to Zoe's Chocolate Co. for some sinfully delicious treats or get your paintbrushes ready to create some pottery at I Made This. Downtown Frederick really comes alive during First Saturday events which have a different theme every month. The holiday season is especially a wonderful time to visit as the trees are decorated in festive lights and parking is free!
