Westminster's Fallfest continues a proud tradition

Westminster's Fallfest continues a proud tradition

By Kevin Dayhoff, September 25, 2013


Westminster’s annual Fallfest celebration begins Thursday with a parade at 7 p.m. that starts on Pennsylvania Avenue and ends just below Westminster City Hall on Longwell Avenue.

Fallfest, which boasts on its website, westminsterfallfest.com, to be “Carroll County’s largest community charity event,” then continues four days through Sunday in the center of downtown Westminster at the playground and the Westminster Family Center.

For many it is one of the highlights of the year -- a time when the greater Carroll County family gets together to celebrate everything that is wonderful about our community.

Friday evening, Sept. 27, highlights the annual Midnight Madness celebration of shopping and eating-out on Main Street in downtown Westminster.

Fallfest hours for Friday are 6 to 10 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday from 12 noon to 6 p.m.

[…]

Although there are anecdotal stories of various community fall celebrations throughout Westminster’s history; our current version of “Fallfest,” the annual parade and Midnight Madness specifically draw upon a tradition that started many years ago when Westminster came together in September for an event sponsored by the Retail Merchants Association called “Westminster Days.”

An August 29th, 1947 article in the old, out-of-print Democratic Advocate newspaper reported, “At the weekly luncheon meeting on Monday at the Charles Carroll Hotel the Retail Merchants Association of this city, plans were completed for the Westminster Days which will be held on Sept. 25 and 26. President John R. Byers presided.”

The article then described a big parade on Thursday evening and two days of downtown merchant sales on September 25th and 26th, 1947.

Westminster Fallfest, Inc. P.O. Box 804, Westminster, MD 21158 www.westminsterfallfest.com August 28, 2004 Westminster Fallfest started in 1978 to promote the awareness for the renewal of the downtown shopping district, in which our fundraising efforts center today. During the 1980's volunteers that organized Fallfest realized excess funds from vendor fees and other activities. The volunteers decided to distribute these funds to support local charities. After receiving positive responses from charities, the volunteers decided to broaden their efforts. Over the years we have evolved into a multi-cultural and multifaceted organization known as Westminster Fallfest, Inc. Fallfest operates 12 months a year organizing and providing the community and local non-profit charities the opportunity to apply and be interviewed to receive excess proceeds from our various fundraising activities.

Dear Friends of Fallfest,

Westminster Fallfest, Inc. began as an autumn celebration in historic downtown Westminster, growing over time to operate throughout the year, sponsoring various fundraising events, all to benefit charities and service organizations within our community.

Our signature event is our annual Westminster Fallfest, Carroll County’s largest community charity event.  Each September, Fallfest draws over 40,000 people to historic downtown Westminster.  Families enjoy our festival midway and rides, while others come for the great food, unique shopping, and heart-stopping entertainment.  Our event begins with a parade, followed by four days of non-stop fun.

Fallfest is more than a festival midway or great place to find one of a kind crafts and gifts.  It’s an exciting time to share with our families and friends, and at the same time, give back to our great community.  Whether you join us for the fabulous food, the sights and sounds of our great entertainment, shopping, volunteering on-site, or providing vital sponsorship dollars to make the event happen—Westminster Fallfest is glad to have you!
