Dundalk Heritage Fair - Come Early and Stay Late

There's good stuff happening all day - each day on June 29th, 30th & July 1st - at the Dundalk Heritage Fair.

There's good stuff happening all day - each day on June 29, 30 and July 1 - at the Dundalk Heritage Fair.

All of the bands/singers are very good. There is live music all day. Don't miss out on so much good entertainment by waiting until the international rock stars go on stage before you come listen to the music.

There are wholesome kids' activities all day.

Food's fine and the arts and crafts vendors section will be jam-packed with nice goods to see and purchase.

Most of the fair's food stalls will return, and you can add one from Costas - one of the highest-rated restaurants in Maryland. The fair's arts and crafts section will have around 50 stalls set up, where you can chat with and buy from some talented and creative artisans.

If you live close to where the fair is held—in shady and green Dundalk Heritage Park - it may be worth your while to walk on over there for awhile. In previous years, I've been there in the afternoon when it wasn't crowded at all.

It only costs five bucks apiece for folks over 12 years old, and that admission price helps pay for a better 4th of July parade and fireworks display.

The fair is run by an all-volunteer crew.

I heard that a Dundalk resident was riding past New York City earlier this week, and heard a radio station up there talking about a Joan Jett concert with a meager $5.00 admission price. Another person was up at Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland last weekend and heard a radio station up there talking about Joan Jett in Dundalk for five bucks a head.

If you wanna good spot to watch the Joan Jett concert from on Saturday and Dennis DeYoung (music of Styx - he was their original singer) on Friday, you best get to the fair early. The Mahoney Brothers' Beatlemania Show is always a big draw at the fair, and they play on Sunday evening.

This year, the fair will probably be better than it has been in a long time. It WILL have a substantial crowd on Friday and Saturday evening. Get there early and you can place your chairs or blankets out for a good spot to see the rock stars, then have a nice time enjoying other aspects of one of the best community events in the entire known universe. 

To see what the fair is like these days, if you haven't been there for awhile or never been, check out my fan page for it:

Saturday, June, 30 at 10.00 AM - From the Dundalk Heritage Fair: We will be opening late today due to 80mph winds and torrential downpours last night. It is looking like we are opening at 3pm. We will update as we have a better idea. All volunteers are on staff to help. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Another victim of OweMalley and his crew and their very unfriendly business climate. What a shameRead More and great pharmacy and some very nice people. Too bad
Dundalk Donnie June 18, 2013 at 10:53 pm
What does the closing of a Pharmacy have to do with the Governor? Nothing.

In retrospect, they should have built the LNG Plant. We would have had thousands of people working.
Wayne Monroe June 18, 2013 at 01:39 pm
Actually, if the country hadn't become a natural gas exporter rather than an importer the LNG plantRead More probably would have proceeded. Opponents raised such a fuss about the dredging required but if the state wants to dredge, step aside. They'll do what they want.
Dundalk Donnie June 18, 2013 at 02:16 pm
...and now they are changing over Cove Point from an import terminal to an export terminal. TheyRead More better order some more cranes from Shanghai Zenhui in China they take a while to build and transport here and the worldwide demand for them is huge. Those new container ships can transport 15,000 containers whereas the current ones max out at 5,000.

MIKE JOIN DUNDALK UNITED a group of tax payers tired of being lie to..
James P Samm April 30, 2013 at 01:01 pm
Well gee whiz Mr Hunt, I guess we should just roll over and take what is shoved to us.Kind of likeRead More they do in North Korea.This is a free country with officials elected BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE of which they represent.If the people that elect those official don't like how they are acting, WE THE PEOPLE have the right to complain about it!! Just like YOU just did.
Mike Hunt May 7, 2013 at 03:14 am
Mr. Samm, this situation is nothing like North Korea. WE, the PEOPLE, elected the councilman toRead More represent us, that is correct; however, I DID NOT elect Dundalk United to REPRESENT DUNDALK! They are a group of assholes who want nothing but the same shit in this area. We have to expand our minds if we want something better than we currently have. When they start doing that, let me know!
juan tonate April 17, 2013 at 12:57 pm
Why does the government not spray to prevent thesenasty annoying things frim hatching ? Why hsventRead More we made them extinct ?

Go Margen!
Barbara Schwinn May 7, 2013 at 10:12 pm
Glad to hear they are not going to be as numerous as led to believe. BUT, it will only take one toRead More produce many loud shreiks from my 5-year-old granddaughter.
