A Case of Political Strife: Where I'm headed
Saturday, November 6
Crack o’Noon
Eastport, Annapolis

Drawing on a decades-old rivalry, this annual charitable event features the longest tug-of-war over a body of water in the world, pitting downtown Annapolitans against the rebels of the mock-breakaway Maritime Republic of Eastport (MRE). Dubbed the Slaughter across the Water, it features a 1700-foot rope, 450 tuggers, and a thousand spectators. Downtown Eastport and Annapolis are transformed into a festival-like atmosphere beginning at 11am and tugging begins promptly (more or less) at the Crack o' Noon. For the first time, the Annapolis side will host a full day party of its own at Susan B. Campbell park. City Dock will be filled with food, drink and a full slate of entertainment, including the first ever Annapolis crabcake cookoff.
