Happy November, Annapolis. While you settle into the holiday season, here are four things to go and do this weekend.
2025 Bay Bridge Run 10K (Sunday)
The Bay Bridge Run returns this Sunday morning, marking the only time all year the bridge is open to pedestrians.
The race runs across the eastbound span — that’s the two-lane one.
Runners, friends and family are invited to an afterparty on the Eastern Shore side of the bridge after the race.
Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival
This weekend is the first of two that make up the Annapolis Jazz & Roots Festival.
The event features around a dozen acts in various venues around Annapolis.
The first act Friday night is an Eva Cassidy Tribute by Alexis Tantau. Saturday afternoon brings the Art, Music and the Muse interview and exhibit by Jabari and J.C. Jefferson. The latter’s quartet will also perform afterward. Sunday brings a soulful funk and rock concert by the Michael McHenry tribe.
The schedule, venues, and tickets can be found on the festival’s website.
Taste of Fall on West Street
This ticketed event is put on by the Inner West Street Association to help fund some of its other festivals.
Attendees will be able to try season-appropriate offerings from several West Street restaurants like Stan & Joe’s and 49 West. There will also be desserts, cocktails and live jazz music.
Tickets are on sale for around $50 on Eventbrite.
Shrek the Musical at Severna Park High School
Severna Park High School students are opening their fall production this weekend, Shrek the Musical.
Shows on Friday and Saturday begin at 7 p.m., while the Sunday show begins at 2 p.m.
It follows the same plot as the 2001 animated movie starring William Steig’s beloved green ogre. The original production went up on Broadway in 2008.
Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for everyone else.
