Families looking to settle just outside of Washington, D.C. will find much to entertain them in Montgomery Village. The Montgomery County community is celebrating the 60th anniversary of breaking ground on its first development in 2026. Although called the “Village,” this small section of Maryland encompasses roughly 23 different neighborhoods and 21 different community parks (including 15 playgrounds).
Keeping Families Busy
There is no shortage of family fun in Montgomery Village. In October, The Great Pumpkin Race and Fall Festival kicks off harvest season. Add wheels to your handcrafted, decorated pumpkin racecar and roll it to the finish line to face off against neighbors. In the summer, enjoy the Village’s signature concert series at the outdoor amphitheater in South Valley Park.
Community Oriented
In Montgomery Village, you can buy from your local community at the MV Farmers’ Market while enjoying live music and free parking. To get involved, try joining one of MV’s numerous clubs like the MV Garden Club, Montgomery Blue Notes Jazz Ensemble, MV Community Band or the MV Sports Association.
