Really fun (and free admission!) carnival to take the kiddos to.

They have a lot of typical carnival games like ring toss, they have clowns and face painting, etc. Also they sell food and drinks - pit beef, fries, Italian sausage, cotton candy, funnel cakes, beer, etc. And the food prices aren't bad at all. They did start a little later than their posted opening time of 3:00 when I went (6.1.19) and unfortunately the operator of the bumper cars was very obviously under the influence, but aside from that we had a fantastic time and definitely plan to make this an annual tradition.

It was so great to go to this event. I haven't attended the festival since 1980! There were all…read morekinds of vendors: photography, watercolors, designer T-shirts, jewelry, wreaths, and pottery. They even had live music. Some choral group called Sweet Adelines sang a beautiful cover of "I Hope You Dance." At any rate, a good time was had by all, and the festival is free! Plus, shuttle buses are available, as thousands swarm to this event; which makes parking difficult. It only happens on one weekend day, each year, in September. So, mark your calendar! Lastly, I only gave this event 4 stars because (I felt) it lacked a good selection of food. One gets hungry when browsing in the hot sun; and the cuisine pickings were pretty slim!

The parking was good, no entrance fee, a lot of free stuff (ice creams, water, bags, jello's, etc...), plenty of Peruvian food choices. Entertainment was rich and fun as you can tell by the pictures - they even had the horses do the tricks... I had food that I had never tried before: Anticuchos - marinated and grilled calf hearts, was delicious meal, with the taste and texture close to a calf liver. Picarones - Peruvian doughnuts were soft and sweet. I was expecting they will be soggy but they were perfect, melting in mouth. This festival is very colorful, and had all the colors under the sun, not just red and whites (their flag). The festival is family friendly and even had a NPS stand where kids can learn and touch objects. Only problem with that is the lack of alcohol (I would have loved a Peruvian beer) but that is a small price to pay for an excellent Peruvian experience.

I was apprehensive about attending this community event because I only heard about it the day…read morebefore via Facebook events, and I didn't see too many reviews from recent history. However, let me be the voice that convinces you to go! It was quite kitschy, with local vendors selling German (sometimes just generally European) trinkets, crockery, snacks, and traditional German attire. That was of course in addition to the multiple food vendors and bakers and the MD German Association selling a la carte plates, where you could pick from multiple kinds of wurst sausage, schnitzel on a roll, sauerkraut, potato salad, pickles, and landjagerwurst dried sausage. For two full plates, it was $35, which I thought was a great deal, and they took card/Apple Pay. The MD German Association also had a couple beer tables where you could buy either by the cup ($8) or pitcher, and a wine/spirits table ($5 Bee Sting/Jagermeister shot). I bought my $15 ticket online, which came with some fees, but if I come again, I'll just buy with cash at the door to save a few bucks. They had a full performance schedule, including choreographed dancing, some dancing with audience participation, and a choir. My absolute favorite part was the barrel march, where all the performers walked behind a set of men carrying a small child balanced on a 4ft-diameter barrel on their shoulders. It felt so silly yet so fun. Fairly priced food and drinks, and I'm salivating right now just thinking about the strudel I brought home. Free parking at the MD State Fair Grounds in an air-conditioned building with rows of tables and chairs for 200+.

I would like to see more interactive activities for the 8-10 year old group as the activities we found for kids were heavily geared towards a much younger age group (puppet show, wing decorating, coloring, etc). I would pay an additional fee for more involved activities and crafts. The Fairy Hunter was a lot of fun. I don't know if he's officially part of the festival entertainment but he should be.
