The Winter on the Chesapeake festivities showcase the best of the Bay during the most wonderful time of the year. Guests are invited to embrace the spirit of the season with a holiday arts and crafts station and hot cocoa and s’mores around our fire cauldrons. CBMM’s waterfront campus is also a great place to watch the St. Michaels Lighted Boat Parade, which begins at 6pm.
