For over 40 years, In The Streets has been a proud Frederick tradition held along Market Street and Carroll Creek Urban Park.

The festival began in 1983 after major renovations closed Market Street for several months. When the dust settled Mayor Ron Young decided to hold a festival for the entire community to encourage reinvestment in downtown. The Festival was held in the street, so naming the event was simple. The first In The Streets festival boasted 10,000 in attendance. Today, In The Streets attracts crowds of over 75,000.

In The Streets continues to invite attendees to explore historic downtown Frederick, while offering a sampling of the diverse food, entertainment, art, and non-profit resources that thrive in Frederick County.
