You guessed it: Chestertown’s fourth annual community party, Saturday in the Park, inspired by the song of the same name, is being held again on Saturday, May 31st (the weekend after the Tea Party Festival) in Wilmer Park. As always, the schedule includes a variety of activities designed to appeal to all ages and interests, including live music, arts, outdoor games for children and adults, kayaking, fitness demonstrations, wellness booths, pet adoption, craft vendors, and food.
At 10:00 am, a free guided kayak tour of Radcliffe Creek will depart from the kayak launch at Wilmer Park on the Chester River. Bring your own kayak or borrow one of many available onsite. Also, there is a Kayak Swap 11-4. Bring your kayak, canoe, SUP, wind surfer, sunfish or other non-motorized vessel to swap or sell.
From 11:00 am until 6:00 pm, local musicians and other entertainers will perform on a raised stage. To book a slot, send a message to ChestertownRecreation@gmail.com. The entertainment schedule will be posted on the Chestertown Recreation Commission’s Facebook page as the date gets close. WCTR Radio will broadcast the entertainment live from the festival.
