Picnic Grounds Open at Noon
Catch our free
Rodeo at 4pm, have some
Chuckwagon Supper at 5pm or grab something from one of our food vendors, and then stay for the
Patriotic Concert and
Fireworks.
Also, Jack and Erin from 95.1 SHINE-FM will be broadcasting LIVE from the Ranch starting at 4:00 pm until 7:00pm. Tracey, Mike and Dave will also be hanging out to be sure to stop by and say hello!
The cost is $5 per person (no more than $20 per car). This admission charge covers you all day, so it doesn't matter how early or late you come. Each year, the fireworks crowd seems to grow a little larger, so come early and stake out your place (grounds open at noon)!
The outdoor concert will begin at about 7:00 pm and will be followed by one of the most stunning fireworks displays in Maryland, set against the beautiful starry sky of Northern Carroll County. The Fireworks start when it gets dark (around 9pm).

History of Westminster Municipal Band
The band was formed in 1893 as the Westminster City Band. In 1916, many members of the band went into the Maryland National Guard under the heading "First Regimental Band of Maryland National Guard" and were sent to the Mexican Border. Then in 1918, the band went to France for WWI. After the war, those returning members and those who remained behind reformed the band into the "Westminster Band".
