Maryland Day is a special day on March 25th when people celebrate the founding of the state of Maryland in 1634. It's like a big birthday party for Maryland! On this day, people remember the first European settlers who came on a ship called the Ark and the Dove. They landed in a place called St. Mary's City. There are fun activities, like pretending to be in the past, learning about history, and enjoying time with family and friends. It's a day to be proud of Maryland and learn about its beginnings!
How to celebrate Maryland Day?
Start with a fun breakfast, maybe something shaped like Maryland, like pancakes! Dress up in clothes that have the Maryland flag colors: red, yellow, black, and white. Spend the day doing a Maryland-themed scavenger hunt at home or in a park. Enjoy some delicious crab cakes or Old Bay chips for lunch. Make crafts like Maryland flag drawings or clay Chesapeake Bay animals. In the afternoon, watch a movie that takes place in Maryland. Finish the day with a Maryland-shaped cake or cookies. Before bed, read a story set in Maryland. Have fun celebrating with family and friends!
