Downtown Hagerstown to Host Free Family Street Festival and Summer Kickoff Events This Saturday

Downtown Hagerstown will be filled with free, family-friendly entertainment this Saturday, June 14, as three overlapping events mark the beginning of the summer season. Residents can expect an afternoon of activities, games, and music spread across the city’s core, offering a low-cost way for families to celebrate locally.

The 2nd Saturday Summer Street Festival, organized by Downtown Hagerstown Main Street, will run from noon to 5:00 p.m. on South Potomac Street, weather permitting. The event will feature a bounce house, inflatable axe throwing, mini golf, face painting, a stilt walker, and a caricature artist. While all activities are free to the public, food items, including snow cones, will be available for purchase from vendors on site.

Adding to the festivities, two other events will take place simultaneously. The SAFE Summer Kickoff, held from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Hub City Brewery parking lot at 25 W Church Street, will include music, food, games, and access to community support services. This event is also free and open to the public, aimed at connecting families with resources for a safe and healthy summer.

Meanwhile, Slam the Weight, a local business promoting fitness and wellness, will host “Dance on the Plaza” at University Plaza, located at 50 W Washington Street. The event begins at noon and encourages community engagement through dance and movement, accompanied by vendor offerings promoting healthy living.

All three events are centrally located within downtown Hagerstown, making it easy for attendees to walk between activities and participate in a full day of summer-themed fun.
