ABERDEEN, Md. — The Maryland Italian Festival will now have a new home - at Ripken Stadium.
The organizers announced that they're moving their location from the Harford County Equestrian Center in Bel Air.
The three-day festival - which will run from Sept. 26 to 28 this year - says it will be on "the expansive parking lot of Ripken Stadium."
The Aberdeen minor-league stadium offers the celebration "more space, better accessibility, and an even bigger lineup of food, music, and entertainment!"
The festival drew 25,000 people from 15 states in 2023.
