Maryland State Fair Grounds

Trifecta Food Truck &amp; Music Festival, Baltimore County’s ultimate end-of-summer party, returns to the Maryland State Fairgrounds on Saturday, September 26, bringing together great live music, incredible food, family-friendly activities and thousands of festival-goers for a full day of fun.
Since its debut in 2016, Trifecta has become a Baltimore-area tradition and the go-to destination for music lovers, foodies and families looking to celebrate the end of summer. At a time when many local festivals have been canceled, scaled back or disappeared altogether, Trifecta continues to go strong — thanks in large part to the overwhelming support it has received from the Baltimore-area community.
That support has allowed Trifecta to remain committed to what it has always been about: bringing people together for an affordable day of great music, great food and fun for the entire family.
And at a time when ticket prices for live events have skyrocketed, Trifecta continues to offer an extremely fair and affordable ticket price for everything included — 10 bands, two main stages, 30+ food trucks, family activities and an entire day of entertainment.
This year’s festival will feature 10 amazing tribute and cover bands performing across two main stages headlined by Several Species: The PINK FLOYD Experience, who's celebrating 30 years as a band. To commemorate this impressive milestone, we will be featuring a Laser Light Show &amp; Quadraphonic Surround Sound for the first time ever at a festival! What's a festival without food? Trifecta gathers&nbsp; 30+ of the area’s favorite food trucks like Jimmy's Famous Seafood, Wanna Pizza This, Greek on The Street, and&nbsp;Cousins Maine Lobsters&nbsp;offering everything from classic festival favorites to unique local specialties.
There’s plenty for the entire family, including a mechanical bull, rock climbing wall, bounce houses and more.
Many longtime Trifecta attendees say the festival has the feel of “the old Preakness days” — a place where friends can bring their pop-up tents, settle in for the day and enjoy great music and good food while hanging out with friends.
With music running throughout the day and activities for all ages, Trifecta is more than a festival — it’s a Baltimore County end-of-summer tradition that has continued to thrive because the community continues to support it.
<h3>TRIFECTA FOOD TRUCK &amp; MUSIC FESTIVAL</h3>
Saturday, September 26 Maryland State Fairgrounds 12:00 Noon – 10:00 PM FREE PARKING
10 Bands • 2 Main Stages • 30+ Food Trucks • Family Activities • All-Day Fun
Gather your friends, bring your pop-up tent and make a day of it at Trifecta — one of the area’s last great end-of-summer traditions!
