“The festival has grown every year over the past seven years, and simply outgrew its previous location,” said Eastern Shore Sea Glass and Coastal Arts Festival Founder and Organizer Kim Hannon. “I’m so excited about co-hosting the event with the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum this year. CBMM’s 18-acre waterfront campus will offer plenty of room and amazing views and exhibits, in addition to what the festival offers.”

Advanced admission tickets can be purchased online at cbmm.org/seaglassfestival, with tickets also sold at CBMM the day of the event.
