The Best 2023 Events to Attend with Your Ford

As the foliage in Laurel and the surrounding areas turn gold and amber, the community spirit ignites. There’s no better way to experience the season than in a new Ford, taking you to every destination with power, comfort, and style. And if you’re in the market for a new or used car to accompany you on these adventures, look no further than Academy Ford.

Driving Into Oktoberfest Celebrations 

Navigating the bustling streets of Baltimore, especially on Oktoberfest, requires a reliable ride. What better way to cruise down to M & T Stadium Parking Lot than in a sleek new Ford SUV? On October 28th, experience Das Best Oktoberfest in Baltimore, MD. From authentic polka bands to German food tantalizing your taste buds, it’s the fall event you can’t miss. Be part of the 60,000 attendees enjoying over 150 varieties of beers, wines, and schnapps. And if you’re sporting a German outfit, look forward to a free beer lanyard. And for those considering being the designated driver (tickets available for them too), the advanced safety features of Ford’s new lineup ensure you and your friends return home safely.

The Heat of Community Spirit at BVFD FIREFEST

On the same day, October 28th, if you fancy a different kind of gathering, consider driving down Prince Georges Avenue in Beltsville. The Beltsville Volunteer Fire Department is hosting its revamped FIREFEST Open House. This event not only promises food and fun but also gives you a chance to connect with community leaders, business owners, and locals. With a Halloween theme this year, kids are encouraged to come in their spookiest costumes. Whether you’re coming in a roomy Ford Expedition or the iconic F-150, arriving in style is a certainty.

Basking in the Glow of the Harvest Moon 

As November begins, the allure of a hayride under the Harvest Moon is undeniable. On November 3rd, take a trip to Riverfront Park. Here, you, along with family and friends, can enjoy a scenic hayride along the Patuxent River. And as the ride concludes, warm yourself by a roaring bonfire with drinks and snacks aplenty. Conveniently originating from the parking lot at the corner of Route 1 and Main Street, the journey becomes all the more pleasurable in a Ford. Pre-registration is advised to secure your spot and remember, the last ride concludes by 8:45 pm.
