Welcome to Downtown Frederick’s favorite event — First Saturday!

The first Saturday of each month downtown comes alive with on-the-street entertainment, late-night shopping and dining and something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you’ve lived here for years, or you’re a first time visitor, First Saturday is a great time to discover something new about Downtown Frederick.

Each season, First Saturday features a unique theme that celebrates a different aspect of Downtown Frederick’s eclectic vibe.

Spring (March, April & May) highlights the unique architecture and spaces throughout downtown.
Summer (June, July & August) is all about the performing and visual arts.
Fall (September, October & November) features all things local — like food, craft beverages, design and handmade goods.
Winter (December, January & February) is a celebration of light and cheer, with our largest First Saturday of the year (Fire in Ice) taking place each February.
