Heritage Day

EMMITSBURG COMMUNITY HERITAGE DAY

A great family event for all ages!

By Jennifer Joy

Good Friends, Good Times, Great Memories! That is the slogan for Community Heritage Day, an annual festival that has been celebrated for 40 years in Emmitsburg, Maryland. On the last Saturday of June every year, this little town’s civic and business organizations sponsor a traditional hometown festival with old-time field games, such as toss the egg, tug of war, catch the greased pig which begins at 12 noon. If those activities are not to your taste, you might enjoy the bicycle activities, frisbee golf, kickball, horseshoes or cornhole tournaments. Not interested in sporting activities? Then come for our vendor show, dog demonstration, firehose spray, hayride, history tour, or just enjoy a dip in the community pool (open free to all for the day). Of course, the kids might enjoy the bouncy house and chalk art contest and the Lions BBQ chicken too. The annual parade starts at 5pm and ends at the park where we have more food provided by local food trucks and an excellent rock & roll band that plays until Fireworks go off at 9:45. All these activities are Free to the public. Come and join Emmitsburg and experience Good Friends, Good times, and Great Memories! For more information on scheduled activities visit Emmitsburgevents.com and like our Facebook page! Located in the Eugene Myers Community Park, Emmitsburg MD.
