Why the Caravan Matters to the Community
Local families appreciate events that bring a festive atmosphere to neighborhoods without the need for extensive travel. The Caravan’s presence at two Walmart stores in Glen Burnie and Dundalk provides convenient access for residents of Anne Arundel and Baltimore counties. The final stop at M&T Bank Stadium offers a larger venue for a broader audience, including fans of the Baltimore Ravens who may already be planning a game‑day outing.
Community leaders have praised the Caravan for supporting local businesses. The Walmart locations anticipate increased foot traffic, which can benefit nearby retailers. The stadium’s event staff will coordinate with city officials to ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety.

All activities are free to the public; only merchandise and specialty drinks are sold. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as space may fill quickly, especially at the stadium venue.
