SCHEDULE
11:30 AM The Foggy Bottom Morris Dancers
Morris dancing is an athletic traditional dance from England. Since 1977, the “Foggs” have performed Morris Dancing throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia — and even in other states and countries! They dance, they sing, they drink (not always in that order) and they’re happy to invite you to join them. Catch their performance at the Town Center.
12:15 - 1:45 PM Andrew Bell
Andrew Bell is a singer/guitarist/songwriter from Baltimore MD who plays a wide range of crowd-pleasing music.

Stop by the State House to take a selfie with Pinch, the center of fun for 16 years of Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball!

2:30 PM Dance around the maypole
Celebrate Maryland spring by joining us in a dance around the maypole! This can't be missed - literally. It's a huge pole covered in ribbons.
3:30 - 5:30 PM 8 Ohms Band
The 8 Ohms Band hails from Annapolis, Maryland and has a powerhouse lineup of players from all over the DC metro area. Bringing heaping doses of Horn Heavy Funk. Drawing from diverse musical backgrounds, The 8 Ohms are known for blurring the lines between hard groove, funk, soul, reggae and a slight taste of DC's own go-go music.
