RAIN OR SHI NE Y

Despite the inclement weather, First Night Talbot rings in 2023 with a great celebration and over 1,000 attendees

First Night Talbot, now in its 29th year, was a huge success despite the rainy conditions! There were musical performances in the town chambers, the Avalon Theater, the Waterfowl Building, and the Academy Art Museum. Also at the Armory were interactive activities for everyone including face painting, a photo booth, and more!

Performances included a juggler and a puppet show for the children. Around 1,000 residents and visitors attended the 9:00 PM crab drop. While less attended, the midnight crab drop still drew around 200 spectators. Everyone enjoyed getting their picture taken in front of the giant crab that towered over Harrison Street.

This event is supported in part by First Night Talbot, The Talbot County Arts Council, Discover Easton, Easton Economic Development Corporation, and the Town of Easton. Our first night event is one of the oldest alcohol-free events in the state of Maryland, and has been profiled on CNN and in numerous publications.

Get ready for 2023, the thirtieth year celebration will be the best yet. For more information: https://firstnighttalbot.net/
