The 44th Annual Maryland Seafood Festival
Saturday September 10th and Sunday September 11th at Sandy Point
Sandy Point State Park will again be the host site for the 44th annual Maryland Seafood Festival, a tasty and entertaining tradition, with music, great food, exhibits, arts and crafts, and featuring The Capital’s 21st Crab Soup Cook-off and the Department of Natural Resources’ Maryland Fishing Challenge Featuring Diamond Jim Award Ceremony. This family fun and feasting event is expected to draw 20,000+ visitors from the all across the mid-Atlantic region.
The Maryland Seafood Festival is a rich tradition in the State and has been held annually for 40+ years, with the most recent 30 years being held the weekend after Labor Day at Sandy Point State Park.
That tradition has been built around a safe, family friendly environment showcasing the great seafood that Maryland has to offer while bringing people from all over the East Coast in the off season.
Live music performances, local charities selling delicious treats, creative craft booths, not to mention everyone’s seafood favorites, guaranteed fun is had by all!
The Festival brings back happy memories with the traditionally held events and new soon-to-be favorites this year!
