This festival will be June 4th in downtown Annapolis. It’s dedicated to showcasing and selling local art and bringing together people all over the city. You can talk to artists in person about their work from 11am to 5pm.
Irish Festival
This festival will be June 2nd to the 3rd and is presented by Budweiser. Even if you aren’t of Irish descent, you can still come out and enjoy traditional Celtic music, Irish food, drinks and entertainment.

It’s that time again, folks! We’re gladly waving goodbye to Old Man Winter, and we’re making way for nice, refreshing Spring. As you’re well aware, Spring brings a lot of joy to our lives, and one of those unequivocal joys is the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show!
This year’s Spring sailboat show will be at City Dock from April 28th to April 30th! That’s an entire weekend’s worth of everything sailboat related, and it’s open for the whole family!
There will be tons of sailboats to view and purchase including family cruisers, catamarans, monohulls and more!
There will also be dozens of vendors on site, so you can accessorize your new boat to fit your specific style! For example, if you’d prefer to only wear your canary yellow shirt when sailing on your new canary yellow boat, that’s perfectly fine!
The show is designed to give sailing enthusiasts everything they need to make their boating dreams a reality. And it’s not just for experienced boaters either! People of all levels are welcomed and encouraged to come out and spend time on the dock. There will be educational opportunities, seminars and even First Sail Workshops where a professional instructor will show you exactly how it’s done.
Tickets are on sale now, and they range from $12 to $19 for entry. Kids 12 years old and younger get in completely free!
If you’re coming into town and need a hotel for the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show, the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Annapolis is the place for you! Our downtown Annapolis hotel is not only comfortable and near City Dock, but it comes standard with free Wi-Fi, free cable and complimentary hot breakfast every morning.

We know you love where you live. That’s factual. We also know you love getting out into the city and exploring the best attractions in Annapolis. That’s factual too. What can be a pain, however, is the actual act of getting around. Let’s be honest here. We aren’t teenagers just getting our licenses, and driving places can sometimes be such a chore!
Here at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Annapolis, we understand that. And we’ve got your back. Our new hotel promotion comes with an Uber credit, so you can comfortably and finally take the back seat on this one. With us, your Annapolis accommodations not only come with a comfortable stay, but it also comes with access to everything you love in the city for free!
With your reservation comes a $15 Uber gift card, and since we’re close to the best restaurants and entertainment in town, that can easily be used for multiple rides! Whether you want to visit the Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis Towne Center or even historic downtown Annapolis, you can do so with us. And the best part? We’ll foot the transportation bill!
As always, you’ll also get free Wi-Fi, premium cable and free hot breakfast every morning.
Book with us and enjoy the ride, Annapolis.

Navy supporters out there, this one’s for you!
The Navy Women’s Basketball team will take on American this March and right at home! On Wednesday, March 1st, at 7pm, prepare to shout from the mountaintop, a.k.a. the stands, for your favorite player and your favorite team.
The game is sure to be full of excitement, but the United States Naval Academy definitely has some restrictions. Make sure you check the game day guide beforehand so you can be in accordance with the rules. We’d hate for you to miss out simply because you got to the front gate and realized you’d left your ID at home.
Also remember that the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Annapolis is right around the corner and always here for you. Our property is not only near the Naval Academy, but we offer a military hotel package too. For military members and their families, our downtown Annapolis hotel offers a discounted rate to show our appreciation and respect for what you do.
Get your gear, get your tickets, and get yourself over to the USNA to cheer on your girl!
