Annapolis Boat Show – Directions and Parking

September 28, 2016

This blog post relates to an event that has now passed. Be sure to review our current calendar of events to join ACY Yachts at the next boat show and other special events.

The Annapolis Boat Show is in just two days, from Thursday, October 5 until Monday, October 9.

Attendees will get the opportunity to climb aboard some of the sea’s most extraordinary boats. They will be able to tour and learn more about the world’s finest vessels and state-of-the-art equipment while browsing through vendors’ tents and stocking up the latest and greatest sailing gear.

Something to keep in mind is that while this show is one not to miss and garners a lot of attention, the crowds often make it difficult to easily navigate through the show and can be overwhelming.

We strongly encourage attendees to prepare ahead of time.

Parking Resources:

Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium

Boat show visitors are encouraged to park at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium and take the free shuttle bus from the Navy Stadium to the boat show. Buses run continuously from 9 AM until one hour after the show closes.

Cost: $10.00
Address: 550 Taylor Ave, Annapolis, MD 21401

*On Saturday, October 8, boat show attendees should follow signs to alternative parking. Shuttle buses will deliver attendees to the City Dock free of charge.

Eastport Elementary School

Another option is parking at Eastport Elementary School, which is a short distance to City Dock in downtown historic Annapolis.

Garage and Street Parking

Of course, parking is also available at local Annapolis garages with transport to the show via the City Circulator.
