Annapolis Entertainment
Here in Annapolis, we are blessed with lovely water views, delicious seafood, and delightful sea breezes. This Saturday and Sunday, all three combine for the much-anticipated Maryland Seafood Festival. Back again with tender crabs, shrimp, fish, and more, the Maryland Seafood Festival is ideal for the whole family. The two-day festival is packed full of kid-friendly events and of course, plenty of seafood. Sandy Point hosts this event from 10 a.m. on both days. Tickets are available at www.mdseafoodfestival.com.
Sunday is exciting not just because of the seafood festival, but also because it marks the first First Sunday Arts. This beloved outdoor artsy event brings together crafty, talented vendors and the Annapolis community for a five-hour festival in celebration of local art. The event is free. Vendors line up along Calvert and West Streets with food goods, jewelry, crafts, paintings, and more. First Sunday Arts starts at noon and ends at 5 p.m. Cash and credit are accepted at most vendor tables. Learn more at www.firstsundayarts.com.
The Colonial Players proudly and excitedly announce their new performance which runs September 5-27, Rocket Man. In for a few hours of drama and heartwarming hope? This show is ideal for you if so.

Annapolis Families
