Things to Do Around Annapolis This Weekend (March 6 to 8)

A classic Annapolis night: dinner downtown, then a show on West Street. If you like high-energy, genre-bending sets, this is a fun one to grab last-minute tickets for.

Bring your pet’s photo, grab a drink, and leave with art you will immediately want to frame (or gift). Great friend-date energy.

If you have never been to a game at Alumni Hall, this is a great excuse. Navy games are lively and family-friendly, and the Yard is always a cool experience.

A film noir musical with sharp dialogue, big energy, and that cozy, classic Colonial Players charm. Perfect if you want a “downtown dinner then curtain call” kind of night.

One of our favorite “Annapolis errands” because you leave with a stack of great reads and feel like you won the day. Expect seriously good prices and lots of variety.

New restaurant opening energy is always fun. If you love being the friend who finds the next “let’s do happy hour here” place first, this is your moment.

A curated indoor market with vintage finds, accessories, and creative goods from local small businesses. The vibe is fun, social, and very “I found the perfect statement jacket.”

If you want the best selection, go early. If you want the calmest browsing, go mid-morning with coffee in hand. Either way, bring a tote.

The biggest downtown bar crawl of the weekend. Expect drink specials, giveaways, and a very green crowd. If you’re doing this, plan a rideshare and pace yourself.

If you want more of a “festival stop” than a full crawl, this is another way to lean into the theme. Think Guinness energy and a downtown crowd that’s ready for parade weekend.

The official kickoff party for parade weekend. Live Irish music, traditional fare, and the kind of “everyone’s having a blast” atmosphere that makes Annapolis feel like a small town. Tickets are limited and typically sell out.

Want something other than crowds and green beer? Theater night is a strong move. Grab dinner downtown and make it a full date night.

Parade route starts on West Street at Amos Garrett Blvd, heads toward downtown, loops around Church Circle, then continues via Northwest Street to Calvert and St. John’s Street. Get there early if you want a prime spot, and keep an eye on rolling road closures.

Parade earlier, then Irish folk later. Honestly, that’s the full weekend arc right there. If you want a guaranteed indoor plan after the crowds, this is a great capstone.
