Community Events

The St. Michaels Farmers Market (SMFM) is an independent, non-profit, producer-only farmers market, located in the waterfront town of St. Michaels on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

On Saturday mornings from April through November, we seek to support local farmers, foster community, and provide access to fresh food in Talbot County.

Grab your tote bags. Bring your friends and family.
We can’t wait to see you.

Come by land, or come by sea, and enjoy a two-and-a-half-day town-wide theme party you will not soon forget! This is a wonderful opportunity to bring your boat and anchor out on the Chesapeake Bay or raft up with your mates. There is plenty of anchorages, dockage, and raft-up space available – as well as plenty of parking for those arriving by land. This exciting event, which offers activities for all ages, is less than a tank of gas from Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C, and Northern Virginia. Costumes "Arrrr" encouraged!

Rock Hall’s Pirates and Wenches Weekend is a town-wide theme party. The weekend-long event features live entertainment and Pirate performers, costume contests, treasure hunts, kids' activities, merchants, and more fun for the whole family.

Learn how the island was formed, what birds fly overhead, and what creatures inhabit our ocean and coastal bays.
