Annapolis, MD (May 29, 2024): Anne Arundel County opened registration today for the first River Days Festival of 2024, which will take place on Saturday, June 29, at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. 

This event will be the first of five River Days that will take place over the summer at different waterfront locations around Anne Arundel County. Registration for each event opens one month prior to the event date.

“Watching families experience the magic of our rivers for the first time at our festivals last year was an incredible experience,” said County Executive Pittman. “By hosting five festivals this year, even more families will get the opportunity to get out on the water, celebrate our local rivers, and learn how to protect them.”
