Alive @ 5

Finally, and I really mean finally, was able to make it out! It’s a little hard to make the 5 – 8 timing if you like many of us in the Frederick area are battling commuter traffic. I do wish it went more 6 – 9 but that was fine. I have been trying to make this all summer long and am so glad I was finally able to. It was a beautiful day the atmosphere was laid back and drinks were beyond reasonably priced. You do pay a $ 5 cover to get in and the buy a token to get a drink. I am guessing there is some dated city law forbidding them from selling alcohol outside, bypassed by selling a token not alcohol. It ends up being $ 5 a token which will get you your choice of beer or sangria. Dogs are welcome as well.
Little tip, if you are just looking to enjoy the music and don’t want to have a beer or a glass of wine. You can sit across the creek and hear it just fine. Several people were doing this! But really worth the time to go, great location, great time! All the little events like this that happen in Downtown Frederick really is what makes it so fun and lends to real feel of community.

$ 5 cover for music on Carroll Creek. The beer and wine tokens ($ 5 each) are a bit pricey, but the music is generally very good. There is a nice crowd and plenty of areas to sit. Check downtown Frederick web page for the schedule.

One of my favorite summer time venues:
Ddowntown happy hour series occuring the fourth Thursday of each month from May — September at the Carroll Creek Park Amphitheatre between Market and Carroll Streets. Each event occurs from 5 — 8PM, features a distinctive live band, great music, beer and wine. Must be 21+ to enter. ID required. $ 5 cover.
Alive @ Five is dog friendly for well behaved dogs on a leash.
