Looking for some fun family-friendly events this weekend? Then look no further than FamFest!

Presented by The Family Tree, the 9th Annual Brent A. Rosenberg FamFest is happening this Saturday Sep 8 from 8:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. and a new and exciting location, Lake Montebello (2040 E 32^nd St. Baltimore).

Lake Montebello is a 1.3-mile flat loop, perfect to walk or run around. The morning kicks off with a “Fam Walk” around the lake, with walkers creating their own fundraising teams to show their support for building strong families. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. and the Fam Walk will commence at 9 a.m.

Following the walk, from 10 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., enjoy “Fam Fair” on the grounds of Lake Montebello Elementary School. A free festival with activities, music, crafts, food, raffles, games, and more, the fair will encourage families to spend quality time together while building a strong, connected community.
