Havre De Grace Spirit of America Festival


Havre de Grace will be like walking onto the set of “Happy Days!” We will be joining the rest of the nation in celebrating America’s birthday, but will do it with a special twist – a big dose of good ole mid-century Americana! Where else but in charming Havre de Grace can you truly feel like you just stepped into a Norman Rockwell painting? Travel back with us to an era known for Poodle skirts, the rise of Elvis to super stardom, “Father Knows Best,” and the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.

Pennington Avenue will be converted into a straight-away and slalom racecourse for a variety of derby races all day long. From derby cars to adults on mini two-wheelers, there’s a full day of racing to enjoy whether you are a participant or a spectator.
