Dozens of seafood festivals will be held throughout Maryland this summer, continuing into November. Maryland seafood festivals vary in size and diversity, occurring in Annapolis, Leonardtown, Crisfield, Havre De Grace, Solomons Island and other locations.
Several Maryland festivals specialize in certain seafood such as crabs, oysters or fish, while others have a taste of it all. Festivals include entertainment and educational activities for the entire family.
Of interest to many seafood enthusiasts are festivals that host to cooking contests. The National Hard Crab Derby and Fair plays host to the Annual Crab Cooking Contest, the Maryland Seafood Festival boasts the Crab Soup Challenge and the St. Mary’s County Oyster Festival is the home of the National Oyster Cook-off.
