Set in the heart of Annapolis at City Dock from April 24-26, the Spring Sailboat Shows bring over 100 new vessels to display including monohulls, catamarans, racing boats, and more! Renowned vendors will also be selling merchandise, equipment, gear, and electronics. While we don’t have a sailboat in our fleet (yet!), we will definitely be checking out this show! And don’t forget that all Dock Street businesses are OPEN for business during the construction at City Dock, so be sure to grab a drink at Admirals Cup or a hot dog from Pip’s before hitting the boat shows! https://www.annapolisboatshows.com/products/annapolis-spring-sailboat-show/
May Day
Every May 1st, the businesses and homes of historic downtown Annapolis are transformed into a beautiful floral display of color and creativity. With each business showing off its own unique display, May Day is not something to be missed! Grab an iced coffee at Rise Up! Annapolis and stroll up and down Main Street and Maryland Avenue (and all of the neighborhood streets in between) to welcome the beauty of spring time in Annapolis! And don’t forget to stop by and purchase a bouquet from Darim, the Annapolis Flower Man on Church Circle next to Reynolds Tavern!
