If you enjoy historic urban centers, then downtown Frederick is for you. The City of Frederick is the hub of arts, culture, commerce and government within Frederick County. Located less than an hour from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD, Frederick is the second largest city in Maryland with 65,000 residents. Frederick was founded in 1745 by German settlers, and is a city rich in heritage, opportunity and innovation. It is located between the Civil War battlegrounds of Monocacy, Antietam and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Downtown Frederick has impressive architecture and public art works abound in the historic district where you’re never more than a few blocks from one of four impressive performance and fine art centers or a host of private galleries. On 22 weekends each year, downtown Frederick and neighboring 54-acre Baker Park play host to special events which include weekly summer concerts, monthly gallery walks, children’s theatrical performances, and other events which celebrate the season.
