Annapolis In Love is a weekend celebration of Annapolis being the most romantic City in America. On the weekend of April 16– 18th, love will be in the air in every part of our City. City street names will be changed, and romantic events and specials will be offered by participating hotels, B&B's, restaurants, and merchants. We will have romantic & fun contests that allow you to express your feelings, and have a blast with the one you love. Special events will include concerts, movie marathons and lingerie shows. We’re even looking to host a few live marriage proposals. Many businesses will provide door prizes, raffles and a silent auction will take place throughout Annapolis to help benefit the American Heart Association.

Take a stroll down Lover's Lane and share this adventure with the person you love. If you haven't yet found that person, he or she may just be in Annapolis on this weekend. There will even be dinner parties, a Single’s Brunch sail and events which will provide the opportunity to meet someone special.

Our most important goal this weekend will be to have fun with you and make it easy and affordable for you to enjoy Annapolis.
