The Maryland Seafood Festival Is Finally Here!

Published: Wed, 09/03/14

OUR MESSAGE

Can you smell the crabs? Can you hear the music? Can you almost taste the beer? The Maryland Seafood Festival is here September 6th and 7th to bring us all the celebrations of the Chesapeake Bay!

They have been at it for 47 years and it keeps getting better and better each year. Last year they added professional beach volleyball to the entertainment and this year X-Pogo. If Travis Pastrana rode pogo sticks instead of motocross, he'd be here!

You can't ask for a more family friendly event than this festival with plenty for kids--young and old to do! Craft beers, plenty of games and activities for the kids, crab soup cook off, arts and crafts, cooking demos, tastings, and so much more--just check it all out!

Once again, we are a sponsor of the festival and cannot be more proud to be associated with this nearly half-century old event!

Get your tickets now and we'll see you at the Maryland Seafood Festival this weekend!

All the best-

PS--parking is a bit different this year. You can purchase a parking pass online and that will put you up close to the action at Sandy Point. Because the fest keeps growing, they no longer can offer the first come-first served parking on site. Remote parking and shuttles will be available from the Anne Arundel County Community College--just look for the signs!

Here's the info on the parking!
