Annapolis knows how to celebrate the spring equinox in style. Join the Maritime Museum for their annual oyster roast, and toss a pair of your winter socks into the fire!
This event is sure to raise your spirits as you party around a bonfire and chug back oysters to your heart's content. Hosted by the Annapolis Maritime Museum and other local sponsors, the Annapolis Oyster Roast and Sock Burning will feature live music by (appropriately) The Eastport Oyster Boys.
