Due to safety concerns for the health of our out-of-area visitors, transient boaters and small town neighbors, several events for the summer season have been canceled, partially canceled or adapted in order to help prevent the gathering of large groups in the days of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Below is an updated list,
at this moment in time
, of Rock Hall's summer events and where they stand.
Third of July Fireworks (July 3): As scheduled. The Rock Hall Volunteer Fire Company (RHVFC) has made note that if the fireworks will need to be rescheduled due to health concerns, a new date will be announced before the end of 2020. If you would like to donate to the RHVFC fireworks fund, please visit

Fourth of July (July 4): The morning's annual parade and afternoon festivities at the Civic Center have been canceled. Alternatives such as a Fourth of July house decorating contest for residents, among other activities, have been organized.
Waterman's Day (July 5): The Kent County Waterman's Association has canceled this year's Waterman's Day held annually at the Rock Hall Bulkhead. The organization kindly asks for continued support of local watermen during these uncertain times.
Pirates and Winches Fantasy Weekend (Aug. 14-16): An event that draws thousands to Rock Hall each year, Pirates and Winches has also been canceled in hopes of reducing crowds in the area.
For our customers who look forward to these events each year and who have already made reservations to stay by boat, in a room at our Inn, or both, Haven Harbour Marina Resorts management has opted to discount the rate of Pirates and Winches weekend to that of a standard weekend. The Fourth of July holiday weekend rate will remain the same. For questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact our offices during regular business hours at (410) 778-6697.
