Graw Days Festival in HdG Set for Saturday

Rain is likely on Saturday in Havre de Grace, according to the National Weather Service forecast, but that will not get in the way of the seventh annual Graw Days festival.

Downtown will be packed with visitors, vendors and entertainment in celebration of Havre de Grace’s heritage as a stop on the horse racing circuit. There will be tours of the old clubhouse that used to be part of The Graw, the racetrack off Old Bay Lane for which the festival is named. Also don’t miss these attractions:

• Children’s area with crafts, games, face painting, moon bounces and children’s stage with music and other entertainment; 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Pennington Avenue.
