Events In The Arts District
Events are another reason why locals love the Arts District. Every first Sunday of the month, from May through November, the first block of West Street is closed for the First Sunday Arts Festival. Local artisans set up tents and offer passersby some of the area’s most unique and tasteful arts and crafts. The Chocolate Binge Festival is another uniquely Annapolis festival, packed with quirky events, entertainment, and chocolate!
With two parking garages located on West Street, the Arts District is also the perfect place to leave the car and start your exploration of the city.
