We love our state.

The Made In Maryland Festival, a one-day event that highlights all of our state’s best and most famous offerings, returns to Kurtz’s Beach on Sunday, August 11, 2024! This completely Maryland-themed festival features a fun line-up of vendors and entertainment, from artisans, crafters, live jousting, food vendors, local wineries and breweries, live music, children’s activities and beyond.

 

Through this exciting event, Kurtz’s Beach is also proud to support one of Maryland’s most treasured organizations – The Chesapeake Bay Trust, a 501c(3) nonprofit grant-making organization dedicated to improving the watersheds of the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Coastal Bays, and Youghiogheny River.

This Year’s Festival Proudly Supports: 

The Chesapeake Bay Trust is a 501c(3) nonprofit grant-making organization dedicated to improving the watersheds of the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland Coastal Bays, and Youghiogheny River. Created in 1985 by the Maryland General Assembly, our goal is to increase stewardship through grant programs, special initiatives, and partnerships that support K-12 environmental education, on-the ground watershed restoration, community engagement, and the underlying science of these three realms. Through our grants to schools, local governments, community groups, faith-based groups, watershed organizations, and other not-for-profit entities, the Trust engages hundreds of thousands of students and volunteers in projects that have a measurable impact on the natural resources of our region. For more information, visit the Chesapeake Bay Trust website.

Located at 2070 Kurtz Avenue in Pasadena, Maryland, Kurtz’s Beach originally opened over 90 years ago as a bathing beach. Today, the family-owned and operated venue hosts a variety of events, from weddings to fundraisers to festivals and more.
