Westminster Bike Swap
Don't miss the 28th annual STOP SWAP AND SAVE, the East Coast’s largest indoor bicycle swap meet and consumer bike expo. We will be there with some of our favorite bikes and equipment for sale and be dealing out free espresso samples and selling cans of our canned nitro cold brew coffee. Should be fun as we did this event way back before we even had a brick-and-mortar location.
Maryland Iron Festival
Celebrate Maryland's ironmaking history at the 7th Annual Maryland Iron Festival. Enjoy a weekend of live blacksmithing demonstrations and hands-on casting and molding with experts from Hopewell Furnace. You don't want to miss the iconic IRON POUR with 3000 degree molten iron! Join in family activities with Keystone Ironworks; take a guided tour of the historic Harriet Chapel; watch the kids play colonial games and activities; and listen to live music. You can shop the artist and maker market; stroll the grounds and watch plein air artists at work. G&G will be there with our coffee carts serving up the crowd and enjoying what will hopefully be fair weather.

2025 Moco Epic
Come for the ride and pay us a visit to get your morning started at the 2025 Moco Epic. It is a 2-day events and we will be there for the second day serving up coffee as well as getting in on all the great riding (don’t worry, will make sure we got coffee service covered). These are amazing trails and will be a great family friendly event.
Board Game Night with Aleventures
Gravel & Grind will be hosting another and final game night in collaboration with Aleventures. Yep, life happens and they gotta deplete their stock of board games so their stock will be on massive sale. Good times, chill scene, adult beverages aplenty.
Aleventures started as a passion project between two friends that met by working in the same industry. Programmers by day, gamers by night - they found gaming to be the ultimate escape in 2020. Aleventures was eventually born and now will be the medium by which they share their gaming passion with the Community alike!
Cranksgiving 2024
Cranksgiving is a food drive on two wheels. It’s part bike ride, part food drive, part scavenger hunt, and part party. The 2024 Cranksgiving ride will take place Saturday November 23rd!
Meet at Gravel & Grind by 10:15am. Riders must be ready to roll by 10:30am. The after party and prizes will be across the street from at Olde Mother Brewing (526 N Market Street) at approximately 12:30pm.
Description: Make your giving fun this year! Grab your friends and family and join us for a fun and challenging ride around Frederick. This isn’t your average cruise around town though…you’ll be scavenging food from various grocery stores while competing in the alphabet challenge to wind some cool prizes! You’ll have to strategize because you can only collect a limited amount of items from each location. All food and donations go to the Frederick Community Action Agency. So come on out, join the fun and make Cranksgiving your new tradition! As in years past there are some fantastic prizes for our top performers. E-bikes are welcome too.
Difficulty: This is city riding through traffic.
Tips: Assemble a group of friends (each player will play their own game sheet) and bring a bag, rack, child trailer, or some other way to transport food on your bike. Players will ride to various grocery stores throughout Frederick and buy items to check off their game sheet. The player with the most food items from the game sheet will win prizes! Be sure to bring a bike lock and $ to spend on food.
2024 Festival of Flight
Planes…cool….planes and great coffee….VERY COOL. Yup, the Frederick Municipal Airport is doing it again and the Frederick community gets to come out to the airport to experience the aircraft that fly here, the organizations that meet here, and the businesses that operate here. No they will not let us bike on the runway, but we will be there with our cart serving it up. The cart will be in the hanger (so come rain or shine) pop on by.
Grab a coffee and experience the Frederick Airport through aircraft on display and in flight, explore opportunities on how to get involved with aviation, and meet the people and businesses that are based at Frederick.
In the Streets 2024
In The Streets 2024
We will be doing business as usual in the shop on East 6th Street…but a new addition this year…..will be unleashing our e-bike towed coffee cart on Market Street. We will be serving up our canned cold brew and other delights for what hopefully will be an awesome weather day and another great festival experience.
