Bands in the Sand
Each June, sell-out crowds gather on the beach in Annapolis, Maryland, dance barefoot in the sand, sing along to live music, enjoy local cuisine, and raise a glass to saving the Bay.
Clean the Bay Day
Join CBF and thousands of volunteers across Virginia as we take a few hours on the first Saturday in May to simultaneously clean up beaches, parks, shorelines, streams, rivers, and lakes. This event has been a staple for the save the Bay community across Virginia for more than 30 years.
Save the Bay Photo Contest
Every spring, CBF's annual photo contest occurs, highlighting the beauty and character of the Chesapeake Bay watershed through the eyes of those who enjoy it.
DC on the Half Shell
This bi-annual event honors an exceptional Bay steward and toasts one of the Bay's most essential natural resources: the oyster. Guests enjoy a curated selection of the region's finest, sustainably harvested oysters and other Bay region delicacies.
