On Sunday, October 25th, 1,902 people in cow print filled The Great Frederick Fairgrounds and set a new world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as cows.
Â
The previous mark was 1,352, set in Cowaramup, Australia on July 12th, 2014. It stood for twelve years. Frederick beat it by 550.
Â
Thank you to every person who bought a onesie, put it on, and spent a Sunday afternoon in it. The record belongs to you.
COWFEST 2026 raised $5,000 for the Mental Health Association of Frederick County, our non-profit partner and the financial beneficiary of the event.
Â
MHA has supported mental health in Frederick County for decades, and every ticket sold helped get that money to them.
