Burn Those Socks Baby!! An Annapolis Tradition

 

It's Time!! The annual Annapolis Oyster Roast & Sock Burning takes place at the Annapolis Maritime Museum March 18, 2017, noon to 4 p.m. 

AOR 2015 GovThis crazy ritual started back in the 1980's and takes place every March with a bonfire on the beach of the Museum. Throwing socks on the fire marks the beginning of spring and boating season not far behind.

There will be live music by the Eastport Oyster Boys, yes that is the bands name and they are awesome!!

There is an admission to be able to burn your socks but it comes complete with unlimited raw and roasted oysters,  Museum’s exhibits and a chance to enter the oyster shucking competition. There will also be Barbeque, lobster rolls, beer, wine, Bloody Marys, dark & stormies and who knows what else available to purchase. more will be available for purchase. Did I mention a display of waterman’s workboats will be at the Museum?

Come ready to have a fun time The Annapolis Maritime Museum is located at the end of 2nd St on the Eastport side of Annapolis.

Martha,   This certainly seems like a fun event.  Seems silly to me to be burning socks but what they heck ... if it is a tradition ... then it is a tradition.  Either way, I am sure it will be fun.

It is a fun tradition and celebrated in the heart of the Annapolis boating community.

Martha Brown I have never heard of this one. If I hold out, will they go to other parts of the wardrobe?

Oh look at you a nudist at heart. LOL No just the socks. It is a well known tradition that boaters do not wear socks with their docksiders.

It is a bit different but all in fun. Wish I liked oysters. Lobster roll sounds good though.

I've heard of knocking your socks off but not burning them. :)
