to be a highlight of the fall season and one both locals and

Karaoke presented by Bose in partnership with Watermark Cruises on

aims to connect music enthusiasts with the voices and stories
behind the songs in a personal setting, while showcasing
Annapolis as a music
destination.

Downtown hotels to fully immerse themselves in everything
Annapolis and its surrounding area
has to offer. In addition to enjoying the festival, visitors can
take advantage of boating cruises and tours, explore historic

in Annapolis. Trip planning
