Artopoly & More
From November 14 to December 12, several coinciding events will create a magical “winter wonderland” in Elkton’s downtown Arts & Entertainment District. These events include Shopopoly and the Festival of Trees as well as "Artopoly" and the Annual Photo Show at the Cecil County Arts Council. The scheduled dates for our Annual Photography Show are same as the Festival of Trees and Shopopoly.
