USA TODAY has again highlighted Allegany County The Mountainside of Maryland one of 10Best “Best Place to Visit for Fall.” Add in the opening weekend of Mountain Maryland’s Artist Studio Tour, a Maryland Certified A&E District – and you just invented the first annual Historic City Center FallFest!
October 18 & 19 • October 25 & 26 • 11 AM – 5 PM
Participating in the tour are so many talented artists from our community. They are painters, furniture makers, sculptors, jewelers, photographers, fiber artists, printmakers, and more.
Western Maryland Scenic Railroad offers unforgettable rides through the Allegheny Mountains. Our year-round steam or diesel trains depart from Cumberland and travel to the mountain town of Frostburg. As your train climbs along the mountainside you will pass through cuts, over streams through a 914ft Tunnel, and be treated to some of the best vistas rural Maryland has to offer. (Photo: Bob Helton)

Rivers brings their rich, harmony-driven sound to the Gallery Stage, blending rootsy Americana with indie-folk sensibilities.

Loft 129 • 129 Baltimore Street, Cumberland
Back by popular demand to the American Woodmark stage from the New York City, Western Skies is a state of mind, thoughtfully crafting songs you can live your life by. Love, music, friendship and a pinch of humor. Imagine Crosby, Stills & (a female) Nash with Jimi Hendrix on lead guitar and you’ve got a pretty good idea. Real songs, Real harmony, Real guitar, Real people.
