Things to Do in Harford County This Week: Nov. 2 to 8, 2026

by Josh Tessier

Published Oct. 30, 2026 | Last updated: Oct. 30, 2026

The best bet this week is Saturday, Nov. 7. That one day has free Fall Fest at Eden Mill, Fall Fest at Hopkins Farm Brewery, two farmers markets and a Celine Dion tribute show in Havre de Grace.

Weeknights are quieter, but our libraries have fun stuff almost every day. I picked things in 9 towns, from Jarrettsville to Joppa.

  3. Bring cash for food trucks and bake tables.
  4. Check the host page the day of. Weather can change outdoor plans.
