Military Night at the Maryland Italian Festival is a proud tribute to currently serving military members, veterans, and the families who support them, especially those connected to Aberdeen Proving Ground, just miles from Ripken Stadium. This evening is rooted in gratitude, community, and recognition of the service and sacrifice that shape the identity of Harford County and the surrounding region.
As a token of gratitude, all Friday night tickets are half-price at $6 for Active Duty, Reservists, National Guard, and Veterans (and one significant other). The festival’s opening ceremony will begin at 7 PM at the Entertainment Stage with the presentation of the colors, the national anthem, and a fireworks fanfare.
Please visit the Military Appreciation Tent near the festival entrance. If you have served in the military, come tell us where and place your pin on the world map. While supplies last, receive an Avena Maryland Italian Festival Challenge Coin.
Join local military associations, military-friendly businesses, and community organizations for engagement, support, and celebration with service members and their families.
