One of Maryland’s most anticipated traditions is back! The 57th Annual Maryland Seafood Festival will take place on Saturday, September 13, and Sunday, September 14, at Sandy Point State Park. This two-day celebration of local flavor, family fun, and Chesapeake Bay culture is a must-attend event to close out the summer.
Seafood lovers are in for a treat with over 50 seafood dishes to sample, including steamed crabs from Jimmy’s Famous Seafood (available by pre-order), an oyster and craft beer tasting area, and the ever-popular Crab Soup Cook-Off on Saturday. Sunday features the Naptown Sampler, plus all-new culinary excitement with chef demos and a World Food Championship Cookoff.
Live music will keep the energy high all weekend long with a full concert lineup, headlined by local favorite Jimmie’s Chicken Shack. Attendees can also take part in or watch classic contests like crab cake eating, crab picking, and oyster shucking—plus new additions like a blue catfish eating contest…
