‘Tis the season to be thankful. This week, Annapolis entertainment is a bit quieter than others, allowing for time to relax at the dinner table and couch with good friends and family. Even still, the staples in Annapolis entertainment–Ram’s Head, 49 West, and green events–continue. Keep reading and have a safe (and full) Thanksgiving.

Annapolis Families
Many are off for Thanksgiving, and with restless families in town, the days can be long! How about taking everyone to Annapolis Maritime Museum on 732 Second Street for a nautical-themed exhibit: “Six Directions: Starboard Vistas.” The work of local artists is on display at the museum from this week to January 31.

Though Thanksgiving week isn’t as active with entertainment as other weeks, you can still learn about green events right from your couch. On Wednesday, one of the founders of AnnapolisGreen.com and Green Drinks in Annapolis makes a guest appearance on WNAV 1430AM and 99.9FM to discuss preserving wild lands. Learn about current practices and sustainability around the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Tune in and get involved from 6 to 7 p.m. this Wednesday. Head to www.annapolisgreen.com to learn more.
