Have a Festive Spring

Gardens are in bloom and festivals and fun are in the air. From the Wine Village in Baltimore to Artscape to Lavender Festivals and a delicious selection of local food festivals across the state, spring has sprung in Maryland. Make it a spring fling—book a few nights at a cozy Maryland inn or historic hotel, make reservations along the Crab & Oyster Trail and enjoy an “Old Line” vacay.

June is National Great Outdoors Month and the perfect time to hike or paddle your way through Maryland’s wonderful wilderness. From the mountains to the beach, we've got trails for days, so book a stay at a unique Maryland hotel or inn and rest up for another fun day of exploring on an outdoorsy getaway.

Plan A Fun-Filled June

June is just around the corner and it’s a month filled with reasons to celebrate. It’s not too early to begin your planning. Father's Day, Pride, AFRAM and Juneteenth events fill the calendar. From festive parades to solemn commemorations and wild celebrations, we’ve got an event for everyone. And with so many multi-day events, why not find a snug Maryland bed & breakfast or luxury hotel and extend the celebration?

Road Trip

Kick summer off right with a ready-made road trip along one of Maryland’s 18 Scenic Byways. Get off the beaten path to explore pristine waterways and vibrant historic waterfront villages along the Chesapeake Country Scenic Byway or discover small-town warmth and the Delmarva Peninsula’s famous fresh seafood on the water-laced Cape to Cape Scenic Byway. Find a place to stay along the way and extend your excursion.

OC Getaway

Ocean City is turning 150 this summer and you’re invited to the party! From beachside dance parties and seafood festivals to movie nights under the stars, OCMD is pulling out all the stops to celebrate. Join the festivities with a classic family beach vacation to enjoy all the events, walk the historic boardwalk, take a spin on the sand-side rides, enjoy some Fisher’s popcorn or Thrasher’s fries and relax on the best beach on the East Coast. There’s a spot on the sand–and at the party!--just for you.
