The Maryland Coastal Bays Program and Ocean Pines Association will host the third annual Bay Day on Sunday, May 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at White Horse Park in Ocean Pines.  

After a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic, the event promises to bring more fun, excitement and hands-on environmental experiences to Ocean Pines.

Bay Day is a free, family-friendly event aimed to capture the interest of all age groups through interactive exhibits, environmentally focused crafts, live music, food trucks, free boat rides on the St. Martin, and more. This fun-filled educational day is made possible thanks to the dozens of dedicated environmental organizations in the region that contribute their time to this event. 

 Bay Day is a collaborative effort between Maryland Coastal Bays Program and Ocean Pines Association to offer the community a free opportunity to learn about the environmental efforts happening in the area and inspire individuals to care for the watershed right from their backyards. Bay Day is designed to be as immersive as possible, so the community can learn about the diverse programs, practices and campaigns that exist to improve the health of the Coastal Bays watershed, and specifically the St. Martin River.
