The Town of Berlin, Maryland, a community of about 4,500 residents, will celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the release of the hit movie “Runaway Bride” during the month of August.
Downtown Berlin will feature decorated wedding-themed storefront windows and those shops that were featured in the film will be showcased with posters depicting what they were in the movie.
A free guided walking tour will take place every Monday in August starting at 4:00 p.m. Meet in front of the Berlin Welcome Center and tour guide Mary Raley will share stories of the filming and point out each location. The tour will last 45 minutes and is sponsored by the Gulyas family.
There will additionally be Runaway Bride trivia questions posted in most of the downtown shop windows and visitors can pick up an entry form inside each shop or the Berlin Welcome Center. You only need 10 correct answers to be entered in the drawing for a free nightโs stay at the historic Atlantic Hotel. Drop your completed entry form in the box located in the vestibule of the Welcome Center, which is open 24/7.
