Annapolis Entertainment
Summer weather might be slowly disappearing, but that doesn’t mean Boatyard Bar and Grill can’t host a party on the beach to benefit the Annapolis Maritime Museum. In fact, that’s precisely what’s happening this Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. This annual, beloved event is packed full of live music on the beach, drinks, food, and plenty of sun. Two drink vouchers and a grilled buffet dinner from Boatyard are included in the ticket fee. To purchase your ticket, head to www.annapolisgreen.com.
Where Boatyard Bar and Grill celebrates one last hurrah on the beach, Maryland Avenue and State Circle celebrate the coming of fall with their annual fall festival on Sunday. The fall festival is treasured for its laid back vibe, street music by locals, vendors selling all sorts of goodies, and food specials for restaurants along Maryland Avenue and State Circle. This event is free to attend. Dogs and kids in strollers are welcome too! The fun lasts from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free parking is available on Calvert Street and St. Johns Street.
