Things to Do in Germantown
The urbanized, census-designated place of Germantown is the third most populous place in Maryland and as such caters to a wide variety of tastes and needs. In terms of your cultural enrichment, the BlackRock Center for the Arts is a must-visit place for high-quality performances, free gallery exhibitions, and arts education classes. The Germantown Oktoberfest is sponsored by the center every year featuring traditional German folk, rock, and pop. To spend some time outdoors breathing some fresh air and making the experience also educational, you may opt for Butler’s Orchard, a peach farm growing over 25 varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and trees on over 300 acres. Attend their farm market for preserves, local honey, gourmet condiments, seasonal decorative items, and cider, or opt to pick your own fruit, including strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries, blueberries, cherries, red raspberries, apples, and pumpkins.
Talking about shopping, the Lancaster County Dutch Market, known informally as the Amish Market, offers charming stores and delicious street food. Tasting what’s special in the region continues at Picca Pollo A La Brasa, Sabai Sabai Simply Thai, Yuraku, Mi Rancho, Mamma Lena Trattoria Napoletana, Curry Place, or the Caspian House Of Kabob. To burn of the extra energy, the Great Seneca Stream Valley Park, giving home to the moderately inclined Seneca Creek Greenway Trail, is an ideal destination for hiking, mountain biking, or trail running.
