Montgomery County
Entirely Maryland, Distinctly Different
Welcome to Maryland’s Cultural Capital
Step into a world where diversity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of every neighborhood. Montgomery County offers rich history, outdoor adventures, global flavor, and unforgettable cultural experiences all in one destination that’s Entirely Maryland, yet Distinctly Different. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a solo escape, or a weekend with friends, it is the perfect time to plan a weekend in Montgomery County, just minutes from Washington, DC.
Make it a weekend getaway! Stay in Bethesda for upscale boutiques and one-of-a-kind entertainment venues. Head to Rockville and Silver Spring for globally inspired cuisine. Get a taste of the rural side of the county at pick-your-own farms and craft breweries and wineries. Get outdoors to explore the rich history of the C&O Canal National Historical Park. Challenge yourself on the greens of one of our nine public golf courses or enjoy a spirited game at Topgolf. Delve into the intersection of art, architecture, and nature spanning 300-acres at Glenstone Museum. Catch a show at the Music Center at Strathmore, a film festival at AFI Silver Theatre or a musical at Olney Theatre. In Montgomery County, the experiences you can have are as diverse as our communities.
As the leaves turn, enjoy scenic hikes surrounded by fall foliage, pick-your-own pumpkin patches, and thrills in the haunted forest. Celebrate the season at autumn festivals and raise a glass of fresh-pressed cider from local orchards. Spend a weekend filled with autumn-inspired activities.
