Maryland Events 2026

The Chesapeake Bay shapes plenty of Maryland’s calendar. Ocean City hosts Sunfest in late October, and Easton holds the Waterfowl Festival in mid-November. Timonium welcomes the Maryland Irish Festival the same weekend.

The Maryland Renaissance Festival in Crownsville plays its last weekend in late October. In Baltimore, the Christmas Village opens November 21, and Brookside Gardens in Wheaton starts its Garden of Lights the night before. Ocean City’s Winterfest also opens in November.
