Important Information about the Fort Frederick
Market Fair
Dear Market Fair Participant,
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources has implemented a "complete ban on all open air burning”¦ This includes leaf burning, campfires, and charcoal grilling, but excludes the use of propane grills."
Campfires will NOT be allowed at the event unless the burn ban has been lifted, and fines will be imposed if necessary. Propane or other gas stoves will be allowed during non-public hours. We are making every effort to provide additional food vendors and will provide directions to local restaurants.
For updates on the status of the ban in Washington County check the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website ”“ www.dnr.state.md.us. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail ”“ nor burn bans ”“ will stop the Market Fair!

Blessed are the cracked for it is they who let in the light!
