Fifteen talented poets will share their original works bringing the stories of Annapolis' past and present to life on the water as they read from the bow of Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating's (CRAB) power catamaran "Dream Catcher" docked at the end of Ego Alley at Annapolis City Dock. 

Adding to the festive atmosphere, members of the Naptown Brass Band will fill the waterfront with music at 6:00 p.m. as Annapolis begins its journey toward commemorating the nation’s 250th anniversary.  

The public is encouraged to bring lawn chairs, relax along the dock, and enjoy an evening that honors the people, places, and moments that helped shape our community. This event is supported by the Chesapeake Crossroads Heritage Area , the Annapolis 250 Celebration , and CRAB (Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating).
