Explore New Baltimore Downtown and see why our family friendly environment is a great place to be all season. With a walkable Main Street, free parking, and the waterfront just steps away, downtown is an easy, low-stress place to bring the whole family whether that's a Sunday morning at the Farmers Market, an afternoon watching boats come in off Anchor Bay, or a stop at Walter & Mary Burke Park for the fun-loving kids in your life.
And downtown doesn't take a season off. Spring brings the Farmers Market back to Washington Street, a favorite family outing as the weather warms. Summer is packed with kid-friendly nights out fireworks over the bay at the Bay-Rama Fishfly Festival, free Wednesday concerts at Walter & Mary Burke Park that are perfect for a blanket and a picnic, and Farmers Market trips every Sunday. Fall means Countryfest and Trick-or-Treat Downtown, a Halloween tradition families look forward to all year on Washington Street. Even winter gets in on it New Baltimore Winterfest fills a February weekend with free kids' activities, games, face painting, and contests, right alongside the Polar Plunge for the grown-ups.
However you visit, and whenever you visit, downtown New Baltimore is built to welcome the whole family.
