The City of Hagerstown’s annual City Park Fall Fest is scheduled (rain or shine) for September 16, 2023 from 11am-7pm.  Fall Fest is a free family-friendly event in the beautiful Hagerstown City Park. Many activities in the park museums and historic sites will be held 11am-4pm and will be followed by a Fireworks show on City Park Lake. Entertainment will continue around the lake from 4pm-7:30pm.
