Dancing in the Streets
A huge portion of Reisterstown Road was closed off last year to become the setting for the first Pikesville Festival. The festival began with live outdoor music and ended with visitors dancing in the streets. The wide success of last year's festival has prompted Pikesville to re-create the fun Sunday. The event will include live music, food and entertainment again. This year's festival features the band the Hubcaps, an antique car show and 15 restaurants that are opening their doors to expand their business onto the street.
The festival is 5 p.m.-8 p.m. Sunday at Reisterstown Road, Pikesville. Call 410-484-2337 or go to
