First, what is the Easton Maryland Waterfowl Festival?
Well, to sum it up, the Waterfowl Festival is an annual event that takes place in the fall within the historic town of Easton, MD.
It is a celebration of the founding organization’s dedication to wildlife conservation and the promotion of wildlife art and community, coupled with the long-standing Eastern Shore tradition of sporting.
Why is the Eastern Shore ‘home’ to the Waterfowl Festival?
Well, it reaches way back to a period of time when the Chesapeake Bay area was home to an almost incalculable amount of waterfowl: ducks and geese who would migrate to the area during the winter months.
But don’t be fooled, the activities here do not only accommodate the sportsman. There are numerous things to see, do, watch, and taste that make it an enjoyable few days for the whole family – kids included.
