Celebrate the New Year, Maryland-Style

You can watch the ball drop in Salisbury or catch fireworks across the state, but only in Maryland can you ring in the new year with duck, donut, crab, and rockfish drops or even a muskrat dive. Say hello to 2026 with a uniquely Maryland event and make it a celebration to remember with a few nights at a tucked-away inn or cozy hotel.

Party Like it’s 2026
