2025 Festivals
This summer, the Anne Arundel County Executive’s Office will host four River Days festivals at different waterfront locations throughout the county.
"The goal of these events is to provide public water access and inspire our residents to become stewards who will protect the health of our local waterways," said County Executive Pittman. "River Days provide families an opportunity to get out on the water and fall in love with that place that they live."
River Days Festivals are hosted by the County Executive’s Office. All events are free and open to the public. Each festival will feature fun activities for all ages, including boat rides, water activities, environmental educators, live music, games, crafts, food trucks, and more. Boat rides are free, but capacity is limited and tickets will be available first come, first served to festival attendees beginning one hour before each scheduled boat ride departure. A full schedule of boat ride times and ticket pickup times will be posted before each event. Please direct all questions to riverdays@aacounty.org.

Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) will provide fully-accessible rides on their 40' Gemini Powercatamaran. Wheelchair users can enjoy the beauty of the water from the comfort of their chair. Please be aware that a power chair adds more weight and is equivalent to 2-3 passengers. There will also be radio-controlled sailboats available for guests to enjoy if they'd prefer to stay on the dock.
