The Information Stage at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Washington avenues will hold opening ceremonies preceded by a color guard, the Bag Pipers and the National Anthem.

On Saturday, the Patriot Plaza Stage located between the town's two court houses will present DJ Ray Der and Kelly Bell, and Sunday the stage will have DJ Ray Der and The Reagan Years.

A Family Fun Zone and Farmyard Experience will be located beside the PNC Bank between Upper West Pennsylvania Avenue and Lower West Chesapeake Avenue. Carnival rides will cost $2 per ticket, $30 for 25 tickets and $35 for unlimited rides wristbands.

Event organizers are expecting over 50,000 visitors so many local businesses will be reserving spots in order to get their goods, services and brands out to the public. Food vendors and food trucks will be bringing festival treats and special food tastings, and Baltimore County agencies will be on hand with information about their programs and initiatives.

Many groups that reserve spaces in events such as this often go to local print shops to get a little banner printing done. That way they will have colorful banners to bring attention to their tents or booths.

This year's Towson Festival will take place Saturday May 3rd from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm and Sunday May 4th from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm.

The Towsontown Spring Festival started 56 years ago as the Towsontown Art Exhibit. It was held in the Baltimore County Courtyard and in 1968, it joined the Bicentennial Celebration.

Today with the help of hundreds of volunteers, sponsors and many Baltimore County Agencies, the Towsontown Spring Festival has turned into one of the largest outdoor festivals in Maryland. Over 150,000 visitors attend the two day event with more than 200 vendors to satisfy the appetites of our patrons.

The festival features an entertainment stage with acts and numerous national attractions. Opening ceremonies are held at the corner of Washington and Pennsylvania Avenues at 12:00 pm Saturday, May 3. Prior to opening ceremonies there will be Bag Pipers, Color Guard & the National Anthem.
