Colonial Market Fair

The 18th Century comes alive on Benjamin Banneker's Farmstead. June 13 & 14; 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Catonsville, MD

A celebration of early American life, the Colonial Market Fair offers visitors a rare opportunity to retrace the footsteps of Benjamin Banneker while they watch colonial craftsmen at work, hear lively music of the period, and try their hand at colonial crafts and games.

The 2014 Colonial Market Fair was the best yet! With over twenty vendors and more than 1,600 visitors, this event was a huge hit in the community. We’ve responded to 2014’s success by almost doubling the size of the fair for 2015! We hope you’ll join us as the 18th century comes alive on Benjamin Banneker’s farmstead!

While the fair is free to the public, a donation of $5 per car for parking is appreciated.
