For over 30 years, In The Streets has been a proud Frederick tradition held along Market Street and Carroll Creek Urban Park.
The festival began in 1983 after major renovations closed Market Street for several months. When the dust settled Mayor Ron Young decided to hold a festival for the entire community to encourage reinvestment in downtown. The Festival was held in the street, so naming the event was simple. The first In The Streets festival boasted 10,000 in attendance. Today, In The Streets attracts crowds of over 75,000.
In The Streets continues to invite attendees to explore historic downtown Frederick, while offering a sampling of the diverse food, entertainment, art, and non-profit resources that thrive in Frederick County.

Summer Concert Series | Scott Ambush Group w/ guest Eric Byrd sponsored by the Frederick Jazz Society
2025-08-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Baker Park Bandshell, 121 N. Bentz Street, Frederick, MD, 21701, United States
Bassist, composer and luthier, Scott Ambush has been performing since the age of twelve. A native of Frederick County, Maryland, Scott began playing electric bass when he discovered that the drum slot in the band he wanted to join was filled. Scott has no regrets. Scott has performed on stage and in studio with a veritable who’s who of the DC/MD/VA music scene; saxophonists Tim Eyerman, Marshall Keys, and Al Williams, Singer/songwriters, John Carroll and Mary Ann Redmond, Guitarists, Carl Filipiak, Alan Scott and Michael Fath, and even the legendary Root Boy Slim. In addition, Scott has played hundreds, if not thousands, of Jazz, Pop, R&B, and Funk gigs throughout the region, especially adept at performing or filling in on short notice. As an ongoing member of contemporary jazz super group, Spyro Gyra, he has garnered five Grammy nominations, and has become widely known for his versatility, sensitivity and lyrical playing. Scott is equally at home in a wide range of musical contexts, having played with such luminaries as Stanley Turrentine, Dizzy Gillespie, Omar Hakim and Special EFX. He has backed R&B jazz instrumentalists, Chuck Loeb, Kirk Whalum, and Pieces of a Dream; R&B vocalists Maysa Leak and Angela Bofil, as well as award winning Blues artist Deanna Bogart, among others. Whether doing live dates or recording projects with Bogart, Jason Miles, Teresa DeSio (Italy), Misato Watanabe (Japan) or renowned Bollywood composer and producer, Sandeep Chowta, Mr. Ambush’s varied experiences have served him well. When not touring with Spyro Gyra, Mr. Ambush fronts his own group, and designs, builds and sells the custom bass guitars that carry his name.

Pianist/vocalist Eric Byrd has been playing professionally for over 30 years. Along with the principles of swing and be-bop, rousing gospel-tinged chords and trilling blues lines are fundamental elements of his performance style. His improvisations are intense, soulful and romantic; he takes listeners on a joyride as his fingers create magical works of art.

2025-08-10 19:00 - 20:30 | Baker Park Bandshell, 121 N. Bentz Street, Frederick, MD, 21701, United States
Gringo Jingo is the brainchild of Steve Reed who has been playing “serious” lead guitar for 35 years. By “serious”, we mean he is fresh off the Vegas live music scene, playing regular gigs at casinos and showrooms in sin city. His resume includes a national tour with “Sir Rod,” a wildly popular Rod Stewart Tribute act. He’s opened for Molly Hatchet, Motorhead, and the Guess Who.

The show comes with the serious instrumentation needed to reproduce the rich, velvety smooth sounds of Carlos Santana. Enjoy classics like “Black Magic Woman” and “Evil Ways” and contemporary hits like “Smooth” and “Maria Maria.” People of all ages and backgrounds really get into Santana and Gringo Jingo performs his material with a party-like exuberance. No one will be sitting by the end of the set!

CANCELED: Summer Concert Series | The Soul Truth with Billy Mayfield (Soul, Funk, & R&B)
2025-06-08 19:00 | Baker Park Bandshell, 121 N. Bentz Street, Frederick, MD, 21701, United States
This concert has been canceled due to inclement weather.
For over 30 years Billy Mayfield has been performing Soul, Funk, and Rhythm & Blues. From 1989 to 1991, he sang with the a cappella group Capitol Centre Quintet and performed during the Washington Bullets’ half-time shows. For the past 25 years, Mayfield has been performing with his Soul & Funk band, The Soul Truth, as well as various other artists and bands. He has performed aboard the USS Sequoia, The United States Senate Caucus room, and at the now Capitol One Arena, to name a few of his favorites. But, he is quick to add, performing at smaller gatherings is just as fulfilling. Listeners liken Mayfield’s performances to a Soulful and Funky good time!
Others appreciate how he connects with everyone in the audience. It’s because of his versatility that Mayfield is a “man for all occasions.” His passion for the stage and performance electrifies any occasion.
Even a shift in venue doesn’t stop the accolades. Wherever he performs — corporate functions, festivals or appearances with other artists — guests keep begging for more. This is exactly what he plans to give. Being a multi-instrumentalist, in 2004, Billy Mayfield released his first recording project “It’s Not The World, It’s The People”. Billy wrote, produced, engineered and executed all instrumental and vocal performances for his first solo effort. He’s still writing and recording for himself and with other artists. Mayfield also does a solo performance concept singing comping himself on playing guitar and keyboards. Be on the look out for instrumental music under N2Groove!
