It is a religious celebration of Maryland's Birthplace, the landmark of St. Clement's Island, and a blessing of the boats, or fleet, as October 1 generally begins the oyster harvesting season in Maryland.

Sounds like a fun event celebrating the "Blessing of the fleet".  Are those military jets I see in the flier?  Does the military participant also?

Always an event to be seen in every town with a heritage pointing to the sea.  Jonathan, it looks like Maryland has made it into quite an event.

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Can't wait for this event!

Susan-You're right, those do look like military jets, but I'm actually not sure if they are in attendance. I didn't notice them being listed on the schedule of events but I'm sure it's still a possibility!
