Good morning, Gaithersburg.

Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg is set for a busy fall and winter with several new businesses coming, including three restaurants such as Sixty Vines (opening mid-October) and Rowan’s new piercing studio, plus a longtime Taco Bar El Güero rebranding as El Güero Mexicano (with a relocation planned later this month). The second annual Crowntoberfest craft beer and music festival will be held on October 4 at Crown Park and is expected to attract large crowds.
