THE BERLIN BULLETIN - OCTOBER 2025

A Message From The Mayor's Office

In advance of the holiday season coming our way, Town Staff and I were recently discussing ways to make the Town’s Christmas Tree brighter and better than ever. We have some fun ideas for a community art project, and I wondered if you have any ideas that you’d like to share with me, too?

Would you like to volunteer to help these efforts?

If so, please email me at MayorZack@berlinmd.gov.

The Town Christmas Tree is arriving on the afternoon of

Monday, November 17th, and will kick off the Holiday Season in Berlin – please make sure to save the date for a chance to Meet Santa, enjoy a free carriage rides, help light the night at Berlin’s 3rd Annual Menorah Lighting at the Inn Berlin, Tree Lighting and Ice Ice Berlin, our famous Christmas parade, and New Year’s Eve 6 pm ball drop.

All the dates are below, mark your calendars and I’ll see you there!

-Mayor Zack
