🎡 WFRE at The Great Frederick Fair — Let’s Get This Party Moo-ving! 🎶🐄
WFRE is thrilled to be back at one of our absolute favorite events of the year — The Great Frederick Fair, happening September 12–20! You’ll find us out there every single day, soaking up the sights, sounds, smells (hello, funnel cake), and fun with all of YOU.
This isn’t just any fair — it’s The Great Frederick Fair, a legendary Maryland tradition that’s been going strong since 1822! What started as a humble two-day “Cattle Show and Fair” has grown into a full-blown nine-day celebration of everything agriculture, entertainment, and community. It even found its forever home on Pratt Street back in the 1860s — and it’s been rocking the barn doors off ever since.
We’ll be hanging out with our awesome listeners, giving away prizes, sharing laughs, and, of course, checking out the epic grandstand concert lineup. Trust us — this year’s shows are gonna be can’t-miss. 🎤✨
So mark your calendars, grab your boots, and come say hi! The Great Frederick Fair + WFRE = the perfect way to wrap up your summer. Let’s make some memories, y’all! 🤠🐖🍭
