Celebrate 300 Years of History!
parked by the 300th anniversary of the signing of
Annapolis’ Royal Charter, Annapolis Alive! is a joyful
celebration of this – and every city’s – independence and truly
participatory democracy.
Sound dry? Not in the nation’s sailing capital, a vibrant, little Chesapeake city, where citizens and visitors still live, work and play in the nation’s coziest collection of 18th century streets and structures. Here, where history is still created daily and government is almost a recreational sport, a yearlong party will stretch from historic City Dock, to the US Naval Academy, to neighborhoods, schools, streets, and pubs all over town. Major arts, cultural and historical events will share the stage with neighborhood festivals, pub-crawls, parties, special historical tours, and even an International Town Crier competition.
Annapolis invites the whole world to help us make history by celebrating 300 years of dynamic, inclusive, surprising, sometimes revolutionary self-rule.
This year, everyone discovers what it means to be Annapolitan. Party like it’s 1708!
