Shaw Bay Raft-Up Concert

We're officially a go for tomorrow's concert! The latest forecast suggests that the chance of rain and storms during the event has decreased, but it's worth noting that the wind speed prediction is currently 10-15 with gusts up to 20 with rotating direction from SW at 11am, to NW by 5pm. Shaw Bay itself is protected though, and we can't wait to see you there!

Please note: Because of the potential wind, our bands request a wider berth than in years past when choosing anchoring sites to allow for some swinging on the anchor.


Raft up and relax with music by Eastport Oyster Boys & Wye River Band in lovely Shaw Bay along the Wye River. Bring your dinghy, paddle board, kayak, or sailboat and enjoy the music and scenery.

This free concert is held each year to raise funds and awareness for clean water efforts on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Consider making a donation to support our clean water initiatives.

Concert mariners can monitor marine channel 72 for important marine information relevant to the event. For more information about the Shaw Bay Raft-Up Concert, contact Courtney Leigh at cleigh@shorerivers.org.

ShoreRivers Shaw Bay Raft-Up Concert Poster Challenge!

We know you love our rivers as much as we do, and we're excited to see that love shine! We're inviting you to create a poster that shows just how much you care about our beautiful rivers or encourages others to take action to improve the water quality. Whether it's a heartfelt message, a cool design, or a creative call to action, let your imagination flow!

Here's the fun part: The ShoreRivers team will be cruising around the concert area, snapping photos of your amazing posters. Your artwork could be featured in our publications and on our social media pages, spreading the love (and good vibes) far and wide!

So grab your markers, paints, or whatever inspires you, and let's make some waves for our rivers! Can't wait to see what you create!

P.S. Don't forget to smile for the camera! 📸✨
