Maryland Seafood Festival
Festival
A celebration of Chesapeake Bay seafood in Maryland's state capital, built around the region's famous blue crab.
6 SEP
Annapolis, Maryland, United States
The Chesapeake Bay has long been one of the most productive blue crab fisheries in the United States, and Maryland's identity is deeply tied to crab dishes in particular — from crab cakes to steamed crabs seasoned with the state's distinctive Old Bay spice blend.
Held on the Annapolis waterfront, the festival brings together seafood vendors from across the Chesapeake region alongside live music and a genuinely scenic bay setting — a proper showcase of one of America's most storied regional seafood traditions.
