Starting in 1970, the founders of the Waterfowl Festival set out to create an event that captured the true romance, excitement and heritage of waterfowl hunting in the Chesapeake Bay region. Since then, the Waterfowl Festival has become renowned for the quality of wildfowl art, the variety of activities, and the friendly atmoshphere. The Festival draws visitors from all over the world. For three days the town transforms itself into a welcoming destination for art lovers, sporting life enthusiasts, and community members.
We are a 501c3 Non-profit organization, run almost completely by our incredible volunteers! Waterfowl Festival showcases more than 350 artists and exhibitors – drawing between 25,000 and 30,000 attendees to Talbot County over the course of one weekend in November.
Our Net Promoter Scores* – a measure of customer loyalty – show we have a lot of friends! (A score of 60 is considered very good; we do way better than that!)
