The 30th annual Burtonsville Day Parade and Festival took place on Sept. 25, according to the event’s flyer. The 29th annual Parade and Festival was held in 2019, while the 2020 Parade and Festival was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Burtonsville Parade and Community Day was a hit on Saturday. The weather was great and, as usual, the community showed up and showed out, but just in case you missed it, here are a few photos… #communityfirst #fall pic.twitter.com/1rxE9l5SJ9

This year’s theme “Better Together,” meant that organizers sought to encompass the community’s diversity in the festivities. Several elected officials and candidates for political office were in attendance — including prospective County Executive David Blair; Tom DeGonia, who is running for County State’s Attorney; and Delegate Eric Luedtke of Maryland’s 14th District.
