If you’re still recovering from all the excitement of last week, we don’t blame you. The day-long “Annapolis Rising” benefit concert on Saturday was a hit, and Annapolis mayor Gavin Buckley assured concert-goers that there will be more events like it in the future: “What would be sad for me would be if we forget,” he said. WTOP’s photos from the event can be found here.
Feel free to share your photos and videos from the concert with us, and we’ll post them on our site. In the meantime, check out all that’s happening in Annapolis this first week of August, and if you notice an important event that’s missing or would like us to post your event, just let us know!
