The Germantown Festival will return to C.O. Franklin Park Saturday and Sunday, drawing people for crafts, the Running of the Weenies and the food that annual attendees have come to expect.

It, alongside the Germantown Charity Horse Show, is one of the suburb’s signature annual events, drawing people across the region.
