Solstice Celebration

  • WILMER PARK 413 South Cross Street Chestertown, MD, 21620 United States (map)

You don’t want to miss this signature summer event!

For a decade, ShoreRivers has hosted the Summer Solstice Celebration on the banks of the Chester River. Enjoy live music and dancing, refreshing cocktails, delicious food, good company, and an exceptional live auction to benefit healthier local waterways.

“Vector,” painted and generously donated by Marcy Dunn Ramsey, will be one of several auction items available during this year’s rousing live auction.

This year’s celebration will feature the culinary talents of Chesapeake Chef Service, a regional caterer who provides an “Eastern Shore to fork experience” and strives to showcase the bounty our region provides. Executive Chef and Owner Kurt Peter’s culinary education began by hunting and fishing in his own backyard and working at various private clubs and restaurants on the Eastern Shore. His cooking style mirrors this passion for the outdoors, with rustic menus and ingredients drawn fresh from our rivers and fields.

Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy live music by local band Fog After Midnight, and admire stunning floral arrangements courtesy of Wildly Native, a family farm in Chestertown, Md., that focuses on hand-selected, in season flowers that are harvested locally at the peak of bloom.

All funds raised during this event will go directly to support ShoreRivers’ work for healthy waterways. In addition to the live auction offerings, guests will be invited to raise their paddle during a reverse auction in support of environmental education programming that helps young people develop a connection with our rivers.


Thank you to our generous solstice sponsors:
