The 2026 Avena Maryland Italian Festival, presented by Jarrettsville Furniture and hosted by SIAB, will be held Friday, Sept. 25 through Sunday, Sept. 27, returning to the grounds of Ripken Stadium in Aberdeen. The fourth annual three-day festival will feature an extensive array of attractions. Highlights include live musical performances throughout the weekend, carnival rides and games, authentic Italian cuisine and beverages, cooking demonstrations, wine seminars, as well as numerous retail vendors and performance artists. Guests can also expect the return of VIP villas, appearances by Mario &amp; Luigi, and fireworks on both Friday and Saturday night. Building on the success of last year’s event, the 2026 festival will introduce an expanded Heritage Village, designed to immerse attendees in an experience inspired by the streets of Italy. Highlights will include a live cooking station, an Italian marketplace and vendors showcasing traditional foods and artisanal goods. 

The festival will run until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday. Military Night will be held on Friday, Sept. 25, and will feature a color guard presentation, a tribute to the Fisher House Foundation—a national nonprofit with headquarters in Rockville, Md. that supports military families—and a performance of the National Anthem. Active-duty service members, veterans and their families will receive 50% off admission.

Go beneath the streets of New York City for a special screening of&nbsp;The Underbelly Project, a documentary chronicling the ambitious underground art project co-created by MICA alumnus Logan Hicks '16. Between 2009 and 2010, more than 100 artists secretly transformed an unfinished subway station into a hidden gallery of monumental artwork, creating a body of work that remained largely inaccessible to the public. Logan will join us before the screening to share the story behind the project and offer a firsthand look at the creativity, collaboration, and risk that brought this extraordinary artistic experiment to life.

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!
