2024-10-18 Oktoberfest Light Show
The Tesla Owners Club of Maryland hosted an epic light show, which even brought Simon Pollock, the creator of these light shows from xlightshows.io, out to Maryland to attend in person. Our goal was at least 50 cars.
The official tally was 103 participating with 4 others in attendance (but not able to run custom light shows). It was EPIC!
Thanks to Frank Noe for once again taking care of all the permissions required to use Frederick Airport.
The official YouTube video is at https://youtu.be/UYQa-0VusTA?si=TXkYugM9nJWW0jpx. See below for the pictures everyone has shared to Google Photos (unfortunately it looks like the layout is still a little weird, but at least videos play now).

2024-05-03 May the Fourth Lightshow Frederick Edition
Once again, the Tesla Owners Club of Maryland Represented for a Global Light Show event! This time, 46 Teslas and their humans showed up at Frederick Airport to perform the May the Fourth light show. There was one original Roadster, 3 (count ’em, 3!) Cybertrucks, six Model X’s, one Model S, 18 Model 3’s, and 17 Model Y’s.
Be sure to check out the official YouTube video compilation of the global event too! Maryland has three snippets in there, two from the Southern Maryland event from mid April (drone footage) and one from this event (no drones allowed near airports, so that was taken from outstretched arms held overhead height).
Special thanks to Frank Noe for coordinating use of the airport grounds, as well as Mark Czajka and Ty Burke for all their work with the event logistics.
