Maryland Day Celebrations
Celebrate Maryland's birthday this year with a weekend-long celebration of its art, heritage, and culture in person and online. This is the perfect 3-day weekend of things to do to crawl out of winter hibernation and explore Maryland. Visit Maryland Day online for more information and a complete list of events by date.
Maryland's birthday is officially on March 25, a state holiday commemorating the formal founding of the colony of Maryland, when settlers from England celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving on St. Clement’s Island in what is now St. Mary’s County, Maryland.
Enjoy family-friendly activities at Anne Arundel County parks like Kinder Farm.
