Happy Halloween! All the events I've been posting about for the last month (or more?) have been slowly but surely leading up to the spookiest night of the year. (And the day of the year that Americans will spend the most money for, after Christmas, with this year's spending expected to reach $9 billion -- [...]
Jack Frost has arrived... But don't let that stop you from attending all the ghost tours, haunted hayrides and pumpkin patches begging to be visited this time of year. Save the Bay: Later this week, drivers will be able to purchase the newest Chesapeake Bay license plate that depicts a blue crab and the Bay [...]
We've got a busy week ahead of us. Although the famed annual U.S. Sailboat Show, followed by the U.S. Powerboat Show (see photos of the latter here), will be wrapped up as of today, there's no break when it comes to all of Annapolis' goings-on this season. Get in the Halloween spirit this weekend at [...]
This week started out with some good news for Main Street Annapolis business owners, and some not-so-good news for area bicyclists; the trial bike path that divided a city has been removed, at least for now. The decision to remove the bike path was made after two weeks of observation and the Mayor's meeting with [...]
This weekend, Annapolis will be overwhelmed by fall festivals (and an Italian festival, an African heritage festival and a beer/wine fest in the park), so when you're not cheering on the Navy at the women's volleyball and soccer games against American University, you can make your way down to whatever ongoing festival matches your mood [...]
We made it through Hurricane Florence with little more than some flooding downtown, and even the Ren Fest in Revel Grove stayed open throughout the weekend. Hopefully last week was the worst we'll suffer during the hurricane season, and our fall festivals, like Ren Fest, will continue as planned. (North Carolina was hit as hard [...]
This Week in Annapolis, we're back to the post-Labor Day school-and-work routine: The City of Annapolis is hosting a "Back 2 School" celebration on Saturday at Truxtun Park, where kids can unwind from their first week back to the grind with music, sports, food and fun. Also this weekend, Maryland Hall's 20th annual "Arts Alive" [...]
Hopefully by now you've got all your back-to-school shopping out of the way, as Maryland's annual tax free week has sadly come to an end. Summer itself isn't officially over until September 22 and school doesn't start until after Labor Day, but you know fall will be here soon when the Maryland Renaissance Festival starts [...]
It's going to be another hot one, Annapolis. Wait til it gets a bit cooler at night to enjoy the last night of the Perseid Meteor Shower, and maybe start back-to-school shopping this week: It's tax-free week in Maryland, and there's no better way to take shelter from the heat than in the air-conditioned halls [...]
We hope your week has started off fabulously, and that you're prepared for some scattered thunderstorms, mid-August heat and stifling humidity this week in Annapolis, because that's what's in the forecast. Time to hit the beach. Maybe head to Ocean City for the weekend, or at the very least, spend a few hours at Sandy [...]
