Community events are all part of Dundalk’s small town feel.

So many reasons to get together with family, neighbors and friends! From the legendary Heritage Fair and 4th of July parade and fireworks, to the Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society and Museum semi-annual community yard sale (yard meaning Veterans Park), there is always something to do, year-round.

We list the highlights here – the Dundalk Eagle (print and online) is also an excellent source of community events presented by local civic organization, non-profits and churches.
