Boatyard Beach Bash Returns To Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park

ANNAPOLIS, MD — The Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park will once again host its annual Boatyard Beach Bash at its waterfront property in Eastport.

This year's event, the 16th annual, will take place on Saturday, Sept. 11 from 5 to 10 p.m. General admission costs $85 per person, with all proceeds directly benefiting the AMM's programs. Tickets can be purchased here.

Each patron will receive "an exquisite Boatyard Beach Bash Buffet dinner" and two drink vouchers, the museum said in a news release. The Coral Reefers will perform, as will Scott Kirby, John Frinzi, Aaron Scherz, and JD Spradlin of SiriusXM's Radio Margaritaville.

"This is a rare opportunity to enjoy these world-class artists in an intimate setting," museum officials said in the news release. "Enjoy the festivities with signature cocktails while dancing the night away at this Bay-front concert."

Shuttles will run continuously from nearby designated lots, and the event will be accessible via water taxi as well. The festivities will take place rain or shine.

The Boatyard Beach Bash was designed "with a philanthropic objective," the news release said. It has raised over $1 million since 2004, which has allowed the museum to host more than 12,000 local students annually.

"This year’s event is even more important as our students head back into the classrooms and experience memorable field experiences at the Annapolis Maritime Museum & Park," AMM President and CEO Alice Estrada said in a statement.

The event sells out each year, the news release said, so interested partygoers should purchase tickets as soon as possible. Anyone interested in corporate sponsorship packages can call the museum at (410) 295-0104 x20.
