Seneca Creek Strings plays a live set, children and teens can work on winter craft activities, and the Howard County Sierra Club runs a Zero Waste Gift Wrapping workshop alongside them. The library lists the afternoon for everyone, from young children to teens and adults, and the event page mentions no registration or tickets, so a family can come for part of the two hours or stay for the whole program. ## Similar picks in Baltimore - [Holiday Concert with Camerata Musica (Towson Library)](https://grassyknees.com/baltimore/activities/holiday-concert-with-camerata-musica-towson-library--listing-010f5ae5408fb705f328c27b) — Sat, Dec 12 · 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Towson Branch, Baltimore County Public Library · Free · checked Oct 20.
