Waterfowl Festival

Each year Easton hosts the world famous Easton Waterfowl Festival.  The festival, often referred to as the Easton Decoy Festival, is held on the second full weekend of November, around the time when migratory waterfowl arrive in the area.  This very popular festival is attended by 18,000 to 20,000 visitors each year.  Much more than a decoy show, the Easton Waterfowl Festival features paintings, carvings, sculpture, decoys, crafts, kids activities, great food, and music throughout the historic town of Easton, Maryland.  Approximately 400  artists and craftsmen exhibit at the waterfowl festival. 

The festival’s daily schedule of events includes demonstrations, entertainment, book signings, and other activities.  Proceeds from the Easton Waterfowl Festival are distributed to projects that promote and enhance wildlife conservation through habitat preservation, education and research.  More than $4.2 million in Festival funding has been donated since 1971.
