City Dock, Shopping, Dining, And More

There’s a reason City Dock is at the heart of an Annapolis visit. Set along the water in historic downtown Annapolis, this lively waterfront district is made for lingering, whether that means dining with a waterfront view, browsing local shops, or watching boats glide through Annapolis Harbor and into the aptly nicknamed “Ego Alley.”

City Dock also plays host to a handful of Annapolis’ biggest events. Head to City Dock in April and catch the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show – the largest in-water boat show in the world; be dazzled by massive pyrotechnic displays on New Year’s Eve or the Fourth of July; or pull up a chair and catch the St. Patrick's Day Parade in March or the Military Bowl Parade in December. It's also the launching point for most of Annapolis' water tours. 

Many restaurants are located within walking distance of City Dock, the Annapolis Harbor, and historic attractions, making it easy to pair a meal with a day of exploring.

Whether you’re after dining, boutique shopping, or simply looking to relax by the water, City Dock is the perfect place to spend your morning, afternoon, or evening in Annapolis.
