Plans for First Saturday? We've got you covered.

Head downtown TOMORROW for First Saturday in Downtown Frederick! Sip & Shop with your favorite businesses, head to the creek for the Afro Flavour Festival, pop into an art gallery, and try a restaurant that is new to you.

Check out everything happening this First Saturday: downtownfrederick.org/firstsaturday

Every First Saturday of the month, Downtown Frederick comes alive with in-store events and tastings, gallery openings, artist and vendor showcases and specials you won't find on any other day.

Many shops and restaurants stay open later, so there's plenty of time to shop small, grab a bite, and soak in the energy of downtown.

Whether you've called Frederick home for years or you're visiting for the first time, First Saturday is the easiest way to discover something new. And where you spend your money matters.
