Maryland Day
Maryland Day commemorates March 25, 1634, the day settlers disembarked from two small sailing ships - the Ark and the Dove – onto Maryland soil.
Celebrate Maryland's anniversary with a celebration featuring dignitaries and honored guests. The program will close with the Ceremony of the Flags, as children from across Maryland present their county colors.
Visit, tour and enjoy over 40 special events at historic homes, museums and cultural sites in Annapolis and Southern Anne Arundel County all weekend with $1 admission (some are free). A perfect weekend to spend with family and friends.
Spend time at the annual Maryland Day celebration on the scenic Potomac River. The celebration runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., including free museum admission and water taxi rides from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., food truck, special exhibits, a public ceremony from 2 to 3 p.m. featuring guest speakers and dignitaries from around the state. There will also be a public Mass on the island at 11 a.m. honoring the first Mass said in the English-speaking New World.
This event commemorates the first landing of the colonists on St. Clement’s Island and marks the meeting of the local native people – the Piscataway – and the Englishmen, and the beginning of what was a long and sometimes difficult relationship between the two cultures. The 2:00 p.m. ceremony includes representatives of both cultures.
