CALVERT — Runners, shoppers and families will have plenty to do in downtown Calvert when the eighth annual Hunters Moon Main Street Moon-Fest returns October 9-10. The two-day celebration will bring food, live music, races and plenty of activities to Calvert’s historic downtown. The weekend gets started Friday, October 9, with the Royal Feast of the Hunter’s Moon beginning at 5 p.m. The dinner will feature chef and pitmaster Joey Victorian of Victorian’s BBQ, who appeared on Season 2 of the Netflix series “Barbecue Showdown.” Things get moving early Saturday with the Hunters Moon “Hooves & Heels” races at the Calvert Volunteer Fire Department, 700 Railroad St. Check-in begins at 8 a.m., followed by the chip-timed 5K at 9 a.m. The 3K Color Run/Walk starts shortly after at 9:05 a.m., with the Kids 1K Run/Walk beginning at 10:15 a.m. Awards will be presented at 10:45 a.m. The 5K course will take runners through Calvert’s historic residential district and Virginia Field Park, while the 3K offers a shorter and more relaxed route past some of the town’s Victorian homes. The 1K is geared toward children ages 10 and younger. Registration includes an event T-shirt and swag bag. Participants who want to be guaranteed a shirt in their requested size must register by September 26. The fun does not end when the races are over. Moon-Fest activities will continue throughout downtown with the Hunt & Howl Jeep and ATV Show, archery demonstrations, a duck-call competition, the “Crown, Rack & Points” parade, vendors, food trucks and shopping. The Antlers, Top Hats & Tiaras Wine, Ale & Spirit Stroll will run from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, followed by the Full Moon Rising Street Dance from 8 p.m. to midnight with music from Crossroads Band. Most Moon-Fest activities are free, although some events require tickets or registration. Proceeds from the Hooves & Heels races benefit Calvert Main Street Preservation and its work in the historic downtown district.
