3️⃣ Take a step back in time for #BlackHistoryMonth as a living historian portrays a soldier in the United States Colored Troops this Saturday at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
4️⃣ Calling all brides and grooms! Attend The Frederick Wedding Show this Sunday to meet with 50+ local vendors at four venue locations Downtown! A free shuttle will take you to Attaboy Barrel House, Steinhardt Brewing Co., Tenth Ward Distilling Co. and Union Mills Public House.
5️⃣ Take advantage of the long weekend to catch the 2024 Seed to Roots Youth Arts Performances Monday at the Weinberg. Frederick County K-12 students take the stage to celebrate Black history and culture, past and present!
