In Howard County, some of the best moments don’t come with a price tag. Let the kids splash and play for hours at Color Burst Park, stroll through wildflower-filled trails as the sun sets at the Howard County Conservancy, or wander the vibrant spaces at the African Art Museum. Summer brings free concerts under the stars in Downtown Columbia, and quiet corners of history await in Historic Ellicott City. From art and music to nature and discovery, these experiences invite you in—no wallet (or only a few bucks) required.
