WHAT
A celebration of the City of Annapolis showcasing the services, opportunities and diversity of our historic community.
The City of Annapolis, in cooperation with the National Sailing Center & Hall of Fame, is seeking public agencies, cultural institutions, sports associations, service organizations, educational institutions, environmental groups, neighborhood associates, sailing groups and other non-profits to participate.
“Too often, the excellent nonprofit organizations that serve our City operate sight unseen. This City Fair offers us a chance to showcase them. Through nonprofit participation in the City Fair, our residents and visitors can learn more about the services offered and the organizations participating can attract needed volunteers to their programs.”
- Joshua J. Cohen, Mayor, City of Annapolis
“The NSHOF is pleased to join with the Mayor to host an event at City Dock which will celebrate who we are and what we do.”
- Gary Jobson, NSHOF President

The solicitors application form is available online and includes the specific code:
