The Labor Day Celebration, now known as the Funkstown Food Truck Festival, was a wonderful event held on September 2rd, 2023 in the Funkstown Community Park. The park was a live with many visitors from both in and out of town. We could not have asked for better weather, as it was not too hot to enjoy the festivities. The event started at 5:00 pm with 5 food trucks. Lines were not to long and the food was delicious! The luna spence band provided tunes in the band pavilion up till the fireworks started. Other events were a bounce castles, a car show sponsored by Funkstown Boy Scouts Troop 23, and ax throwing for anyone 11 and over, badminton and tic-tac-toe to name a few. Then to top off this wonderful event, one of the best fireworks displays you will ever see. Thank you to the event organizer, Connor Shank his hard work in putting this all together. We also would like to thank the Mayor & Council of Funkstown, Town Manager Brenda Haynes, Town Clerk Kelli Rosser, and Maintenance Worker Jeff Smith.
