I had such a wonderful time in Oakland this past weekend for the 58th Autumn Glory Festival.

The streets were lined with smiling neighbors, beautiful fall colors, and a community that reminded me why I love serving Maryland. It was the perfect day to celebrate our state and the people who make it so special.

Parades are a great way to celebrate our communities and connect with neighbors, especially in challenging times. Whether you come out to wave, volunteer, or just cheer from the sidelines, I’d love to see you at an upcoming parade!

Sign up below to join us at one of the upcoming parades we’ll be attending.

Thank you for your continued support — seeing so many Marylanders celebrating our towns and traditions this weekend reminded me of the power of community.

My best,
