This year’s finish celebration at the College’s Waterfront promises to be a memorable one, with four bands playing throughout the day - featuring GrooveSpan 6:30 - 9:00pm - an eclectic mix of the area’s favorite food trucks and cash bar, a photo booth, shower facilities for sailors and overnight accommodations for sailors and guests. Plus… a Music for Maryland performance by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. All of the festivities are open to the public, not just racers, and the music is free (the BSO concert is a “Pay What You Wish” event in the college’s newly-christened Nancy R. & Norton T. Dodge Performing Arts Center).
