It happens every year. Winter goes away and spring arrives along
with all of the festivals. Over the summer, we will highlight a few
of the best festivals around so stay tuned for our insight into the
fests you need to keep on your calendar as we talk with the folks
that bring them all to you!
First up is the Naptown
BarBAYq which is happening this Saturday, May 6th at
the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds. The BarBAYq is put together by
ABC Events who are also the force behind the Maryland Chicken Wing
Festival (and yes we talk abou that), the Bay Bridge Paddle, and
the Maryland Seafood Festival! Listen to Brendan Curley as he talks
about their mission and how they are changing things up all the
time to keep it fresh.
In the middle, we speak with Kevin Chaney who is the Emcee for the
Annapolis Irish
Festival which rolls into town on June 2nd and
3rd this year. We talk about the origins of the festival and how it
has grown over the years since Eddie McGowan founded it in 2011.
What is new for this year (spoiler...Guinness) and how they have
contributed and given back to the community.
Finally, Brendan Curley joins us again to talk about the
Maryland Seafood
Festival. This is happening on September 9th
and 10th and is a very special one this year--the festival is 50
years old. We talk about the history from City Dock to Sandy Point.
The famous crab soup cook off and much more!
Throughout the summer, we will also look at the upcoming
Annapolis Arts
Week and the Annapolis Arts & Wine
Festival, Kegs & Corks Beer and Wine
Festival, and the Nextival, so make
sure you subscribe to us to get all the 411 sent right to your
phone!
