Sailing Through the Winter Solstice by Color on the Creek
Saturday, November 22nd to Saturday, March 14th at Carroll Creek Park.
Sailing Through The Winter Solstice begins in November each year, when a number of boats, transformed through the creative minds of many Frederick friends, set sail on the Creek. The fleet has grown from one boat in the first year to 28 sailing boats and 1 landlocked boat in the 2025-26 season. The boats are anchored in Carroll Creek, between Market Street and Carroll Street.
