Don't Get Mad, Go Shopping! Get Crazy at Midnight Madness

Are you ready for some shopping? Grab a babysitter, don your walking shoes and gather your pals. On Friday September 28th, downtown Westminster welcomes back Midnight Madness. It’s the greatest shopping night of the year, where all of your favorite stores are open until twelve while you enjoy a fun night out on the town. 

Midnight Madness is a part of FallFest, where the kids can have a great evening of their own. No need to feel guilty about leaving them home -- bring them with you! Drop them off with the rides, games and fun, and then join your friends!

Here is a summary of all that Midnight Madness offers.  Take the list and make a plan. After all, you’ll need to pace yourself. Like Cinderella said, midnight comes quickly, and you need to get every store in before you turn into a pumpkin!
