Community Entertainment

Poolesville's Friday on the Commons combines an Artisan & Farmers’ Market with outstanding entertainment in a small town get together held on select Fridays at Whalen Commons in Poolesville, Maryland, in the heart of Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve. 

Relax with Family & Friends

Friday on the Commons is a wonderful place to relax on Friday evening with family and friends. You can stop by for locally grown produce, fruits or baked goods. Be sure to visit our artisan vendors for some local arts & crafts. Our music is world class, and each Friday on the Commons event is super fun and entertaining.

Dinner on the Commons

Make an evening of it! Bring your lawn chairs and have dinner on the Commons. Whether it's from one of our BBQ vendors, rotating food trucks or bringing something delicious from one of Poolesville’s many fine restaurants.
