Fish on at June Tournaments

Whether you love the thrill of a saltwater hunt over the Atlantic Canyons off Ocean City, prefer the chess-like strategy of bass fishing on the Bay, the Zen communion of river and fly-caster, or the only-in-Maryland adventure of open Chesapeake rock fishing, Maryland is truly a fisherman’s paradise. And there's no better way to prove your angler skills than at these hot June tournaments all across Maryland.

Dynamite Doings for Dads

Father’s Day may be only 24 hours, but Maryland has packed in a whole month’s worth of fun for fathers. See the Blue Angels and the Royal Canadian Snowbirds roar over the Atlantic during the Ocean City Air Show. Climb aboard rare and historic aircraft at the Hagerstown Aviation Museum's Open Airplane Afternoon. Take the old man to the sea for the OC Car & Truck Show and the Antique & Classic Boat Festival in St. Michaels. Or let pop party like it’s 1794 at the Whiskey Rebellion Festival in Cumberland. For all this and more great Father’s Day fun, check out our Father’s Day page with lots of great dad doings!
