Description of Event:
Celebrating colonial resistance to British rule, Chestertown, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, will hold its annual tea party festival Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24, 2015. In response to British Parliament's closing of the port of Boston, the citizens of Chestertown, Maryland met in May of 1774 and set forth "Resolves" forbidding importing, selling, or consuming tea in Chestertown. According to local legend, residents then gathered at the town center, marched down High Street to the brigantine Geddes, which was anchored in the Chester River, and tossed her cargo of tea overboard. The annual reenactment of that event is the centerpiece of the Chestertown Tea Party Festival. Highlights: Tea Toss Reenactment, Colonial Parade, Cocktail Party, Raft Race, Street Performances, Colonial Crafts, Strolling Musicians, Local Fare, 5k and 10 mile run and more including Wine and Craft Beer Tasting.Information:
