18th-century crafts, trade, and camp life on the Potomac
Step into 18th-century life at Fort Frederick’s Colonial Market Fair with crafts, merchants, living history, and kid-friendly demonstrations beside the Potomac River.
Event details
Fort Frederick’s stone walls set the scene for an 18th-century marketplace where blacksmiths ring anvils, artisans sell handmade wares, and reenactors bring camp life to the riverbank. The Colonial Market Fair is part shopping, part living-history show, and it’s easy to wander for hours.
Between demos, explore the fort grounds and riverside scenery near Big Pool. It’s a spring weekend that feels like time travel, with plenty to keep kids engaged.
