Celebrate spring with a family-friendly feast of the Chesapeake’s most cherished bivalve.
Festivities begin with the burning of the socks – a spring tradition at the Maritime Museum –The sock burning symbolized the primal urge to hasten good sailing weather through the burning of winter’s last vestiges.
It then goes on to include live music, shucking and cooking demonstrations, an oyster shucking contest and family activities and exhibits that highlight the importance of the oyster to the health of the Bay and the area’s unique maritime heritage.
For a modest additional fee, enjoy raw, steamed, fried and grilled oysters and beverages.
