What to Expect

🎶 Catch your favorite bands with your toes in the sand! Baygrass brings the energy with two side-by-side alternating stages, keeping the music flowing so you never miss a moment.

🏖️ Kick back barefoot on the beach, enjoy local bites and drinks, move through beach yoga, or dive into music and educational workshops throughout the festival.

🦀 Savor fresh lump crab cakes, roasted and raw oysters, gourmet BBQ, wood-fired pizzas, plus a variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes created by talented local chefs. Grab a craft brew at the Baytoberfest Beer Garden, or sip on fresh cocktails, mocktails, and wines showcasing the best from regional beverage partners.

🦪 Visit the Baygrass Workshop Pavilion to learn how to shuck and enjoy oysters like a pro, discover ways to support the health of the Chesapeake Bay, or pick up banjo tips from a Baygrass performer. Guests can also join a Mental Health Workshop to explore resources that may support you or someone you care about.

🎨 With beach games, crafts, activities, and workshops in the KidZone, younger festivalgoers will have plenty of ways to play and explore.
