As technologically advanced as one part of the city is, another remains virtually unchanged in terms of architecture.

Celebrate Gaithersburg with the annual Olde Town Street Festival, with live music, the Taste of Gaithersburg food sampling, arts and crafts and children's activities.

If you need to work off those calories after eating festival food, venture out to Seneca Creek State Park, a 6,300-acre park that extends along Seneca Creek to the Potomac River. Here, hike along the 12-mile Schaeffer Farm Trail or 16.5-mile Seneca Creek Greenway Trail, swim in or picnic near the 90-acre Clopper Lake, and view peony gardens in full bloom in May.
