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 water activities, environmental educators, boat rides, live music, food trucks, games, crafts, face painting, county agencies, 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. 

Registration for festival entry, and reservations for boat rides and kayak lessons will all open one month prior to each event date. Sign up here to be notified once registration is open for each event. 

For questions and special accommodations requirements, please email riverdays@aacounty.org.
