RiverFest @ Historic St. Mary's City

Splash into excitement at RiverFest on Sep 26, 10 am - 3pm, rain/shine. Celebrate the St. Mary’s River for a day of FREE family fun on the water. Enjoy free kayaking, fish seining, try your hand at oyster tonging, tour Tall Ships, and take advantage of free admission to the Historic St. Mary’s City Museum. Get up close with live animals, explore touch tanks, and enjoy make-and-take crafts, face painting, and balloon animals!

Remember to bring your change of clothes for the River Wade-In in honor of the late Sen. Bernie Fowler. We will start the procession to the waterfront at 2 pm in the pavilion. Please invite your family, friends, and neighbors. We can't wait to see you there.
