Patuxent River Appreciation Days
Coming Columbus Day Weekend 2009
_________________________________________________________
October 10-11, 2009
Patuxent River Appreciation Days (PRAD) is a festival, which creates awareness, recognition, and promotion of the economic, social, recreational, cultural and historical impact of the tributaries and environs of the Patuxent River and the basin through which it flows. The festival is held annually on Columbus Day Weekend. Located in Solomon's Island, MD.
The festival brings together, and reflects the continuing commitment of, the community, county and state government agencies, the Calvert Marine Museum, the Patuxent River Naval Air Station, and other historical and environmental groups, which share a desire to preserve the Patuxent River and to celebrate its positive influence on the area's quality of life, in the past, present, and future.
By bringing these people together in a public forum annually, PRAD hopes to continue the interest in and support of the environmental programs and tourism activities surrounding the Patuxent River and its tributaries. via Calvert Marine Museum
