The Fell’s Point Fun Festival will be returning to the waterfront community for its 58th year on Oct. 4-6 with an array of musical performances, vendors, and more.
The three-day festival will kick off Oct. 4 with an opening ceremony at the CFG Bank Main Stage in Broadway Square. Afterwards, attendees can enjoy performances by local rock band Experience as well as local Grateful Dead cover band Dancing Bears.

Also on Saturday and Sunday, the Family Fun Park at the Bond Street Wharf Park will be open from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.. The park will include games, activity booths, arts and crafts stations, and performances. Punch and Judy shows will run throughout Sunday.
A parade down Thames Street will take place starting at 11 a.m. Saturday. It will be followed by an a cappella performance by the Baltimore Men’s Chorus.

On Sunday, festival-goers can participate in a Learn to Salsa event at 11 a.m.
Then at noon, there will be a pet parade organized by Dogs of Charm City. People and their pets are welcomed to join the procession – and pet costumes are encouraged.
DJ Allure, SoulTET, and Unity Reggae Band will perform on the main stage Sunday until the festival ends at 7 p.m.
“Our free event is unique in that it celebrates everything great about local Baltimore: a thriving waterfront neighborhood, beautiful art, musical talent, our love of the hometown teams, delicious food and drinks and wonderful people,” said Festival Director Kathy Hornig, CEO of Five Star Festivals, in a statement. “We are excited to have our fun friends join us yet again for a weekend focused on fun!”
