When is Bike Week?
Submitted by Gail S, Annapolis, Maryland on May 28, 2011

Insider since: 2010
Bike Week is September 15 - 18, 2011. Bike Week always begins the second Thursday after Labor Day. See http://www.delmarvabikeweek.com/ for more information.

This event has been around for several years, but the Harley dealer in Berlin that  sponsored the last several years has closed, so the primary sponsor this year will be the Harley dealer from Seaford, Delaware.

Major events will be taking place at the Harley dealer in Seaford, Seacrets in OC, Purdue Stadium (on Rt 50, right outside Salisbury, 30 miles from OC), and at Winter Place Park (Across Rt 50 from Purdue Stadium). Shuttles will run between the 2 Salisbury locations.There are also events at several other business, many in OC.

Are the boat races still taking place on Sunday, May 29th or anytime over the weeking? We look forward to them every year. You should advertise them better - a lot of people enjoy watching from their hotels. We've been going to the Hilton for the past 5 yrs. and really enjoy watching the race, but can never find any information about this race on the OC website for the past few years. Think alot of people would like to know this information. Thanks for your consideration in this matter.

There are a few answers. At Sunfest there are lots of craftters displaying their wares. Sunfest is 22 - 25 September. There is also a large craft show at the Convention Center 2 - 4 September. This s probably the one you are looking for. Harbor Days, on October 1 at the docks in West OC, will also have lots of craft booths.

Have a great trip!
