The 58th Fells Point Fun Festival is fast approaching

BALTIMORE — The 58th annual Fells Point Fun Festival is just around the corner.

More than 100 artists, creators, food vendors and retailers will roam six blocks in one of Baltimore City’s most historic neighborhoods from October 4-6.

What began in 1967 as a fundraiser opposing an interstate construction project that endangered the community, the festival has grown into an annual tradition attracting 40,000 visitors a year.

All of this is made possible by the nonprofit Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fell’s Point, which organizes the event at no financial cost to the city.

As always, this year’s festival will feature plenty of live music, shopping and food.

Special themed events are also planned, including a pet parade and the Purple Sunday Funday to celebrate the Ravens game. Fans can meet the team’s cheerleaders and mascot Poe.

Entrance to the festival is free. For more information, click here.
