August in Germantown

Every month, we gather up as many Germantown happenings as we can and put them all in one place.

You’ll find two sections to explore:

• Special Events – one-time happenings, fresh and fun
• Ongoing Events – weekly go-to’s like youth programs, free food, farm stands, and more

Click on any event title to learn more. Scroll, screenshot, and share with your people!
