2024 Festivals
This summer the Anne Arundel County Executive’s Office will host five River Days festivals at different waterfront locations throughout the county. Each festival will feature fun activities for all ages, including boat rides, live music, food trucks, games, crafts, face painting, environmental educators, exhibitors, and more.
Registration to the festivals is free and required for entry, as capacity is limited. Registration does not include boat ride tickets or kayak lessons, which are also free but must be reserved separately for a specific time slot. Reservations are required for all individuals, regardless of age.
View the list of festival dates below, and sign up here to be notified once registration is open for each event.
