Bowiefest is back! The City is busy planning Bowiefest 2023, which will be the 46th time that Bowie has hosted this celebration. This year’s event is Saturday, June 3 at Allen Pond Park and features over 200 vendors and three stages of entertainment.

This long-standing city tradition will return on June 3, 2023 and will mark the 46th year that the event has taken place. 

Every year, Bowiefest brings the best of Bowie’s civic organizations, entertainers, and businesses together for a day of fun at Allen Pond Park. Around the pond, there will be three stages and a wide variety of booths and activities. 

Our goal is to make our 46th year the most exciting event yet, so please, join us for the festivities!

At Bowiefest you will have the chance to take a real bite of Bowie!

There will also be a variety of other delicious snacks to savor, including cakes and cookies, cheese steaks, satay crab cakes, teriyaki, and much, much more!

Entertainment

The headliner band for Bowiefest 2023 is The Fabulous Hubcaps!  This is their 50th year in the business, and they will be sure to charm visitors with their takes on Rock 'N Roll Oldies during their lively performance!
