Chesapeake Music Festival
Smithsonian Environmental Research Center 647 Contees Wharf Road, Edgewater, Maryland 21037
Celebrate the Bay's rich musical heritage, in a festival dedicated to Chesapeake folk music! Enjoy songs and storytelling from local bands, while taking in the view from SERC's 18th-century mansion ruins overlooking the Bay. Food, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. Because we're an active research site, sadly we can't accommodate any dogs except service animals. The festival takes place on a hill with a view of the Rhode River and Chesapeake Bay. Visitors are welcome to either walk up to the festival or take a shuttle bus.
This is a zero-waste event. Composting and recycling are provided. We encourage visitors to bring reusable water bottles and help keep the festival sustainable.
