Visit Frederick brings back Maryland’s largest craft beer event
The Maryland Craft Beer Festival will celebrate its ninth anniversary Saturday as more than 65 area breweries are expected to showcase hundreds of unique beers at Carroll Creek Linear Park in Frederick.
The event is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m. in a festival footprint expanding eastward from S. Market Street across S. East Street. Six live bands will perform on stages in the Carroll Creek Amphitheater and the MARC Park & Ride Lot.
Visit Frederick has partnered the Brewers Association of Maryland as the festival’s presenting partner. The festival regularly draws attendees from across Maryland and the mid-Atlantic.
