July 11–12, 2026 · Cambridge, MD · Dorchester County

Families of Smithville Road Music Festival 2026.

Saturday & Sunday · Rain or Shine

The 2-Day Music Festival will showcase a diverse lineup of artists, bands, and performers because we want to appeal to different target audiences. This festival will be representative of Dorchester County and it's full diversity, not only one social or ethic group of Cambridge. Remember, our mission is about family and community. Moreover, the festival will not just be about the music. There will be unique aspects, such as genre diversity, exclusive artist collaborations, art installations, and food experiences. We'll provide an unforgettable experience for attendees.
