May Day in Annapolis

May Day is one of the most beautiful days in Annapolis. On May 1, the doors of homes and businesses in our centuries-old
City of Annapolis
are adorned with baskets full of fresh-cut flowers and colorful ribbons.

Join in the fun! The Garden Club of Old Annapolis-Towne is inviting residents and business owners in the Historic District and parts of Murray Hill to join in the 70th annual May Day. Baskets, including

a card with the name of the participant, need to be displayed by 10:00 am on May 1 when members of the Garden Club will begin walking around town to judge the arrangements.

Winners (both residential and business) will be awarded blue ribbons. They’ll also be invited to a tea held at a local home in downtown Annapolis.

Children are encouraged to make baskets and are judged in a special category. Include the child’s name and age on the card attached to their basket. Pink ribbons will be awarded to the 12 and under age group.

Don’t miss this once-a-year, rain-or-shine event to see Annapolis in all of its spring glory. If you start your day early, you’ll catch the flowers at their best.
