Fall Farm Festival
Putting the Culture
in Agriculture
Calvert County has a deep agricultural tradition, and each year families experience it anew during the annual Fall Farm
 Festival. The 2015 event, held Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18, includes five working farms.
Yes, there are the traditional hay rides, corn mazes and pumpkin patches, but local farm owners also add their own twist. How about racing down a giant slide or rolling around in a giant hamster ball? The crafty can make wreaths or shuck corn. While the kids are having (or rolling in) a ball, parents can sample local wines and peruse artworks. It's a great weekend in the great outdoors. Bib overalls optional.
Visit one or all of the farms in this year's festival.

Matrimonial Maneuvers
Plan Now for Your 2016 Calvert County Wedding
Location weddings are hugely popular, and there are no better  locations for novel nuptials than here on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Imagine your special day with a ceremony on the bayside, at the river's edge, in a lush vineyard or even at a lighthouse.
When it comes to planning a wedding, Calvert County has everything you and your guests need for a memorable event.
Bordered on the east by the Chesapeake Bay and on the west by the Patuxent River, Calvert County offers unique beach and harbor venues to create the perfect wedding backdrop. Inland are historic sites and beautiful venues from hotels and farms to vineyards.
Guests coming from out of town can spend the time before and after the wedding relaxing on Calvert County's beaches, hunting for fossils, visiting a museum or unwinding at a spa. Charter a boat and spend the day fishing or go swimming, crabbing, canoeing or biking. Visit the county's online wedding resource or email for information on venues, hotels and services.
