For over 30 years, In The Streets has been a proud Frederick tradition held along Market Street and Carroll Creek Urban Park.

The festival began in 1983 after major renovations closed Market Street for several months. When the dust settled Mayor Ron Young decided to hold a festival for the entire community to encourage reinvestment in downtown. The Festival was held in the street, so naming the event was simple. The first In The Streets festival boasted 10,000 in attendance. Today, In The Streets attracts crowds of over 75,000.

In The Streets continues to invite attendees to explore historic downtown Frederick, while offering a sampling of the diverse food, entertainment, art, and non-profit resources that thrive in Frederick County.

The ever-popular Gaithersburg Labor Day Parade returns to the streets of Olde Towne. This rain or shine event includes dance groups, antique cars & fire trucks, clowns, high school marching bands, and an assortment of community groups, equestrian units, & more. More details will be added as the event draws nearer.

The City & the Gaithersburg-Washington Grove Fire Department celebrate the unofficial end of summer with the 85th Annual Labor Day Parade on Monday, September 4, 2023, at 1 p.m.

The parade features an assortment of high school marching bands, dance groups, costumed characters, antique cars & fire engines, equestrian units, clowns, and more, all winding their way down East Diamond & Russell Avenues. Larry Miller, multiple Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning Morning News Anchor and Consumer Investigative Reporter for WUSA9 TV, joins the parade as Master of Ceremonies. Note that participation in the Labor Day Parade by groups or organizations other than City of Gaithersburg officials, departments or committees does not constitute City of Gaithersburg endorsement. Food vendors will be located at Olde Towne Plaza and the parking lot next to the Gaithersburg-Washington Grove Fire Station.
