Heritage Days in Montgomery County

Each year, on the last weekend of June, Heritage Montgomery hosts its signature event – the annual Heritage Days Celebration.  This two-day, free-of-charge, county-wide event festival offers visitors an opportunity to sample over 40 sites representing the history, culture, and natural beauty of Montgomery County.  In addition to the participation of larger, well-supported sites such as Glen Echo Park and the Sandy Spring Museum, Heritage Days offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy many small sites that are not regularly open to the public.

Celebrate Montgomery County’s rich heritage with music, children’s activities, food, fun … and history, too! Click link to view the 2010 Heritage Days Brochure
